What's Up Next
Our mid-June episode will catch up on the chatter around Duncan's pick for the month - The Age of American Unreason, which we'll actually get around to reading when our Bibliomatic Ritual deigns it so. There'll be some other bits and bobs and our general nonsense in there too.
Then we'll be reading and chatting about the next book on our list - the Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels later in the month. Maybe we'll take up smoking clove cigarettes again for the full throwback undergrad experience again.
