  • Summary

  • It's a book club, but funny!

    Comedian Michael Ian Black is tackling a great work of literature: Wuthering Heights.

    Join Michael's weekly book club as he reads aloud from a classic and asks people like Jen Kirkman, Mike Birbiglia, Michael Showalter, and even his teenage kids to weigh in with their perspectives.

    Season 1: Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure. The book is bleak, but Michael does a lot of accent work.

    Season 2: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It's alive, and it's just a big buddy. Also, more accent work.

    Season 3: Wuthering Heights. It's a love story? Who knows

    Season 4: American Tragedy. Also a potential title of this podcast

    S4 Episode 65 - Party Animal
    Nov 5 2024

    Clyde is out there living it up while Roberta sits at home and cries. Well, we don't know that Roberta is home crying while Clyde is out among the Lycurgus jet set (despite the fact that jets have not yet been invented) because Dreiser doesn't even care enough about Roberta to check in with her on this, the moment of her greatest betrayal. Even so, your host would be lying if he didn't admit that he wishes Sondra would develop a lil' crush on him, too.

    It's our 64th episode of Season 4, your host is sleepy, and it's the fault of Martha. Clyde is partying hearty, with the potential of betrayal! Lots of terrible behavior from everybody!
