Just In Case We DieJust In Case We Die#932 "Play As It Lays" by Joan DidionSend us a textIt's June! This means that we discuss a book hand-selected from the list by Rebecca.The last time she did this, she selected The Book of Illusions, a novel she had never read that was written by a novelist she admires. She took a wholly different approach this time: couple the desire to read a writer she had never experienced before with the realization that we almost never read books by women. The end result was Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion. Considered one of the classic "Los Angeles...2025-06-251h 01Apollo Papyrus PodcastApollo Papyrus PodcastNovel Writing, Law Enforcement, and the Catskills with Rodney L.

At the end of the episode on “Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo, the random number generator gave us #355. The book corresponding to this number was “Emma” by Jane Austen. Rebecca ixnayed that itshay quicker than quick, but she then had to use the random number generator to pick a tome from her veto list. The redraw gave us A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Dave Eggers’ powerful 2000 memoir about caring for his younger brother after the death of his parents.This book is hard to categorize.

As a result, he must traverse an absurdist landscape of two-dimensional buildings, bumbling police officers, and philosophical meanderings about bicycles. What percentage of one man can become a bicycle before he ceases to be more man than bicycle? Born in 1911, Irish novelist and playwright Brian O'Nolan made a name for himself in the metafiction movement of the 1940s under the pseudonym of Flann O'Brien.

Originally published in 1862, it has endured and rightfully been considered one of the greatest novels of all time. It's long, though-- clocking in at 1,662 pages in one version we found-- and tangential, which causes a good amount of trouble for Aaron. Rodney and Rebecca are quick to defend Les Miserables, however, and will go to any lengths to prove him wrong, even if Rebecca has to break his brain.Can Aaron get through this episode without bursting into song...2025-02-191h 18Just In Case We DieJust In Case We DieFebruary 2025 -- Bonus Episode (Love and Romance)Send us a textThis week’s episode is a milestone for us, as it is the first episode of our third season. Our very first episode premiered in February of 2023. Here we are– two full years later– with a larger cast, more monthly content, and a decent-sized dent in our list of 1,316 novels.

He is the celebrated author of more than 150 short stories. He has won the PEN/Faulkner Award and been shortlisted for the National Book Award. He is Aaron's favorite living novelist, and has been since 1998.In "Drop City", Boyle does what he does best-- biting satire, sympathetic villains, remarkable sense of place-- in a saga about a 1970s hippie commune picking up their California roots and heading north to Alaska. Will Rodney and Rebecca enjoy this book as much as Aaron does? 2025-01-221h 02Just In Case We DieJust In Case We DieJanuary 2025 -- Bonus Episode (Adaptation)Send us a textSome of the greatest movies ever made started out as novels. A vast majority of contemporary stage plays started their life as a book. Written prose have proven to be a wellspring of inspiration for television shows. Les Miserables, Victor Hugo's 1862 epic masterpiece and our selection for discussion in February, by itself has been fodder for comic books, stage plays, television miniseries, feature films, and animated cartoons.This month, our bonus discussion centers around adaptations.

No one here has ever heard of it. No one here has ever even heard of the author. This book was approached with a high degree of trepidation.As it would turn out, this novel was one of the more thought-provoking works to ever be explored on this podcast. By turns amusing and disturbing, Hugo Klaus’s meandering and emotional examination of a childhood spent in Nazi-occupied Belgium is just as confounding as it is enjoyable– all fodder for an in-depth discussion.This...2024-12-181h 25Campbellsville Christian ChurchCampbellsville Christian ChurchBetter: AaronIn “Better Aaron,” Rodney examines Hebrews 4:14–5:5, exploring how Jesus fulfills the role of the Great High Priest in a way no one else could.

It seems strange to make a big deal out of reading new books since the majority of novels the random number generator assigns are new to at least one member of the cast.

They are urging someone out there to read this book and then email them to explain why they believe that this book should be on a list of books that are essential novels to read before we die. Remembering Babylon, the Booker Prize-winning novel by Australian "master" David Malouf, is, ultimately, nothing more than a book that the cast of Just In Case We Die read because they had to.

He selected it for his choice off of the list because he thought that Rebecca would have a personal attachment to it and he wanted Rodney to appreciate a post-modern novel that wasn't as complicated as The Recognitions.

Aaron’s not even convinced that David Dabydeen actually finished writing it. Rodney got something out of it, though, and he tries very hard to change Rebecca and Aaron’s mind about whether or not there’s actually a point to be made with this tome. Does he succeed?2024-02-211h 03Just In Case We DieJust In Case We DieFebruary 2024 -- Bonus Episode (Let's Meet Rebecca!)Send us a textRodney and I made a pretty big decision about the format of our show by deciding to add a third person to our discussions. After some debate, we landed on Rebecca. Her wit, intelligence, and established rapport with us made her an obvious choice.  Our bonus episode for February 2024, the first episode of our second year of upload, is an opportunity for listeners to get to know a little bit more about her.

Scott FitzgeraldSend us a textF. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby was published in 1925 to little fanfare. Sales of the novel were poor, and critics of the day could not resist mentioning how “slight” this offering was in comparison to Fitzgerald’s previous efforts as a novelist. It seemed destined to be a footnote in an otherwise noteworthy career.During WWII, free copies of this novel were donated by the Council on Books in Wartime to American soldiers serving overseas. This prompted a new (and somewhat confounding) interest in The Great Gatsby. Today, this novel is a mai...2024-01-241h 19Aaron Torres Sports PodcastAaron Torres Sports PodcastBama football crushed by the portal, can UConn hoops go back-to-back + What the heck is going on with Kentucky star recruit Zvonimir Ivisic?

They also learned to not judge a book by a one-sentence blurb on Google. They were expecting a dull, overly dramatic, and schmaltzy 19th-century romance novel, and what they got was a riveting portrait of one woman’s attempt to protect her child from the influence of a deplorable husband by defying the law and moral code.They loved it.So did Aaron’s girlfriend, Rebecca, who joins them for this discussion.2023-12-201h 18Just In Case We DieJust In Case We DieDecember 2023 -- Bonus Episode (Philip K. Dick)Send us a textWe have made no secret in our discussions for this podcast that we are both tremendous fans of science-fiction. Our collective love for the genre is absolute and actually extends far beyond the authors we admire. It is reflected in the movies we love, the TV shows we DVR, and the obsessions we have carried since childhood.

This 900+ page masterwork of the beginnings of the post-modern movement spoke to a college-age Aaron in ways that are often hard to articulate. A work that examines the relationship between the artist and his final product, the complicated reasons that the creative can be inspired, and the oft-tumultuous connections between fathers and sons, The Recognitions is a difficult novel that challenges readers with unattributed dialogue, murky character mo...2023-11-221h 22Just In Case We DieJust In Case We DieNovember 2023 - Bonus Episode (Kurt Vonnegut)Send us a textFor this month’s bonus episode, Aaron and Rodney are going to take a deep dive into the life and works of American novelist Kurt Vonnegut. Between his humanistic views, his uncanny knack for unintentional world-building, and his macabre sense of gallows humor, there are more than a few qualities that make Mr. Vonnegut’s body of work unique amongst his contemporaries.

This win sparked a considerable scandal when the jury learned that the author was actually a young girl. As a result, Caterina Albert refused to present her work or accept the award, and from then on she used the male (and snarkily patriotic) pseudonym of Víctor Català for her writings, taking the name from the protagonist of a novel she was planning but never finished.Unfortunately, this intriguing tidbit of trivia is the most interesting thing ab...2023-10-181h 07Apollo Papyrus PodcastApollo Papyrus PodcastInterview with Rodney Conway, author of Magic on a DimeIn this episode, host Aaron Apollo Camp interviews author Rodney Conway.

This month’s novel even ups the ante on that conceit by presenting a fictionalized account of a historical event. E. L.

Spanning fifty years in time, this novel intertwines an implausible military mission in WWII with a contemporary attempt to create a data haven for the burgeoning (at least, in 1990) internet.
