Please listen to Lit Lit, our podcast where we read books sober and talk about them drunk @pod_lit

Happy New Year from all (lol, both) of us at Lit Lit! To celebrate we have a brand new episode where we discuss The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi, a super lighthearted romp that will bring you cheerfully into 2025. Or not at all. Like, at all.

@DragonflyJonez When I was younger I thought "The Fair One" was the nickname of some dude they shot, which to be fair kinda makes some sense as you hear it.

@Guardabascio FYI this isn't new, he's talked for years about he'd EVENTUALLY like to write a bunch more Dunk and Egg novellas all the way up to Summerhall. It's obviously unlikely he'll ever do it given his backlog, but this isn't something he's just beginning to bring up.

[Andrew Klema @AWKlema]

@DragonflyJonez Right? It's also an example of simplicity in writing, intentional or not. An all timer for sure.

@DragonflyJonez Also the other week I was playing with a guy who kept having to tell his kid to go hang out with his mom instead of bothering him while he was trying to hoop.

@DragonflyJonez I honestly don't think there's another tweet or even a full damn article that encompasses the vibe of pickup as much as this does.

@DragonflyJonez It really might be the best show ESPN ever made and it was a great farm system for on air talent too, often non-traditional and non-white. An actual shame to see it go.

a key element of fascism is making it appear that the entire world is organized against your group when in fact you are in the most advantageous and powerful position in society. the los angeles lakers are a textbook example of this phenomenon.

It's the 2024 recap episode of Little Lit! Within we discuss our favorite books we read for the podcast this year, our favorite books we read outside of the podcast, our favorite books we "consumed", our favorite...we talked about books we liked, ok?

@DragonflyJonez True, but we do have an oligarch who became who he is solely because he thought there were tri-tittied women on Mars.

[Andrew Klema @AWKlema]

Apologies for the late post (holidays got in the way) but we have a new Little Lit this week! We discuss our favorite non-book things of 2024 which ends up being Dani talking about concerts and Andy rambling about albums. The usual.

@DragonflyJonez Yup, regular season has to mean something even if you can’t compete in the playoff, otherwise we might as well assign seeds based on recruiting rankings.

[Andrew Klema @AWKlema]

The new Lit Lit is up! This week we discussed Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, a small little book that maybe you've heard of? We had quite a bit to say about this one and no spoilers but tears were involved. Thanks for listening!

@bluecentric @DragonflyJonez I don’t want to be that white dude quoting Immortal Technique, buuuut…

“What you think cause you fake everyone else is a gimmick?”

[Andrew Klema @AWKlema]

On this week's Little Lit we discuss revisiting authors: what it takes for us to want to read more by an author we enjoy, how often we do it, how far down that rabbit hole we go, and why is everyone else wrong in how they do it (kidding...?). Enjoy!

@tedpferguson “He’s gotta make that catch.”

[Andrew Klema @AWKlema]

We have a new Lit Lit! This week we read The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman, at least in part because we read and enjoyed his book Between Two Fires. Do we recommend this book as well? Cliffhanger?!?

[Andrew Klema @AWKlema]

Little Lit is up! We take a break from topics tangentially related to books and tap our deep reserves of narcissism by asking and answering questions about our friendship. Is it deeply self involved? Yes! Does it make for a good episode? How dare you?!

@DragonflyJonez @bomani_jones Where does 50 “vs” Kanye fit into this for you? It was mostly self promotion and as sincere as a loser leaves town match, but it was directly tying sales to the decision of who was better.
