Having apologized profusely for some recent meanderings last episode, our heroes engage in no such hogwash/balderdash/poppycock this go around.

At no point do they discuss Nathan’s recent endoscopy, or awesome roller-coasters, or anything like that. Nor do they spend a bunch of time trying to figure out if it’s AnTONia or ANtoNEEa or what have you. It’s just straight-ahead collegiate-level book discussion all the way. Mrs. Mentzel and Mrs. Chasteen will be ever so proud. And some hot single chick will probably listen to this fall in love with Nathan (which, hot single chicks, if you’re reading this, let’s face it, Nathan is not a hard guy to get a hold of).

In any case, there is plenty to ponder about the great Willa Cather’s My Antonia. Our heroes discuss whether Cather was a lesbian and how much that matters, how a sense of place informs one’s reading of a book, whether Jim was a weirdo for obsessing about Antonia all those years, and more!
