Tonight at 8pm ET we will be having a shocking and satirical evening, as we read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" A subtle reminder that satire and tongue-in-cheek criticism is as timeless as the injustices that inspire them. youtube.com/live/kUYlp_M...

We're taking a left turn tonight, away from whimsy and into weird. Tonight at 8pm ET, we will be reading Lovecraft's "The Color out of Space" and maybe a 2nd short story, time willing. www.youtube.com/live/HCJJnPL... #Lovecraft

Join us tonight for the 2nd half of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" at 8pm ET The 1st night was a delightful change of pace. We've enjoyed the more lighthearted whimsy, but not all in wonderland is as innocent as our airhead heroine. www.youtube.com/live/twhRBU5...

Last night we finished up our current project, and I'm now looking for something new to read together. Does anyone have anything they'd like to hear read on stream? Whether it be a classic of classics, or an obscure favorite, I love to branch out and read new things.

We finished "Walden" tonight, huzzah! Our next reading will be on Friday. If anyone has suggestions or requests, please feel free. I love to discover new authors or genres that I would not normally choose for myself. Do note, I record all streams, so public domain or provided perms needed.

Join us tonight at 8pm ET for our continued reading of "Walden" As soon as I start to think Thoreau isn't so bad, he goes and bad mouths wine, coffee, and tea in the same sentence. Some people can't be helped, I guess. www.youtube.com/live/NWJtTgD...

I don't often post outside of stream announcements, but man, I gotta get this out there. I cannot put into words how excited I am for the Lunar Remaster that is releasing this weekend. These games contain some of my most engaging memories and stories from my youth. Unbelievably psyched for this.
