This week we're reading Chain Gang All Stars: A Novel by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah.
We're talking the prison industrial complex, when novels get too real and books that are good but not fun.
We're also talking coercive tactics, the challenging oversupply of names and how strange America's political landscape can be from the outside looking in.
Holly is staying in her lane but keen for other perspectives to round out her reading experience and Harley is talking about amplification until she is blue in the face.
We also mentioned The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins a few times throughout the episode.
