Description:

This week, we read and discuss Stephen King's classic wintery psychological thriller The Shining.

Then inspired by the setting and isolation of The Shining, we talk about our favorite books about isolation.

And as always we, close the show with recommendations.
  • MJ finished reading and recommends The Female of The Species by Mindy McGinnis. He also recommends 'Becoming Ugly,' an essay by Madeleine Davies published in Jezebel. "There is a theme of women fighting back in what I read this week that I very much appreciated and I think is so important in this world we live in right now of speaking out, fighting back, and not accepting the violence done unto you."
  • Aliza recommends Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. "Someone posted a listicle online this week that I really loved and made me nostalgic about how the book Ella Enchanted taught them how to be a feminist. So I am going to recommend Ella Enchanted."
  • Peter recommends Gilmore Girls. "I've taken a detour; I've driven and decided to stay in Stars Hallow...I'm pretty late to this party but it's wonderful."
