Description

Welcome to Shelf-Discovery!, where the spines are straight, the judgments are swift, and the authors are deeply personal! Gregory asks the eternal question: What three authors would you put on your most visible bookshelf to define your soul? And then Tom answers—with 47 authors and a war flashback to My Name Is Regina!

In this rambling literary extravaganza, we cover:

• The forbidden six Tarzan novels (which must be legally burned)
• The real reason I Am Legend is called I Am Legend
• Why Green Mansions should have ended with Audrey Hepburn in a waterfall
• What book traumatized Ben more than Bambi’s Children
• And which dog book launched the Dalmatians into space

It's an unhinged, surprisingly touching reflection on pulp, classics, the books that raised us, and the ones that tried to ruin us! No one's bookshelf is safe! Especially not yours!

We name authors! We forget authors! We guess at authors! And somehow, we still don't pick just three!

Read! Remember! Welcome to The Penny Men!
