It's the end of 2021! That means it's time to finish up with the last couple of stories that I read. In this episode, a review of Darktown by Thomas Mullen, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, and a reading of 2 B R 0 2 B by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

The Only Good Indians
In this episode I talk about the books I've read since the last episode, when Patrick from the Consume Us podcast joined me to talk about a book we tried to finish by a set deadline (check out Episode 22 for the titles).
In today's episode I am joined by special guest Patrick from the Consume Us podcast. We both read a book we've been pushing to get through and talk about them.
Patrick read Folk Horror: Hours Dreadful and Things Strange by Adam Scovell.
I read The Lost World by Michael Crichton.

First official episode of 2021; in this episode I talk about books that I read so far this year, including reviews for Gladiator-At-Law (Frederick Pohl & C.M. Kornbluth) and Louis Riel (Chester Brown). No plans for upcoming books just yet!

Reviewing two books and adding a new one to my to-read pile
In this episode I review The Heroin Diaries and Paper Towns. I also talk about starting to re-read Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban and Ready Player One (in advance of November 24 when Ready Player Two is released).
I highly recommend following along with the podcast 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back for
Reviewing Red Rising and The Magicians
In The Ever-Growing Pile, I talk about the problem I have with my "to-read" shelf and how it keeps growing. I also review Red Rising by Pierce Brown and The Magicians by Lev Grossman.

Welcome back to The Slow Reader! Quite an update this time around. New this episode are some time markers if you want to jump around and listen to specific parts. No intro music this time - didn't have anything I felt fit the episode.
