00:01:22   any length that you might consider a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/82">TS</a>]

00:01:24   novella from somewhere else your agent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/84">TS</a>]

00:01:47   their wikipedia is overselling it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/107">TS</a>]

00:01:49   well are you suggesting wikipedia is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/109">TS</a>]

00:01:50   wrong about something my god we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/110">TS</a>]

00:01:52   broken the well I don't know tonight up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/112">TS</a>]

00:01:56   the world is not as it appears dan oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/116">TS</a>]

00:01:59   yeah all right there are oceans that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/119">TS</a>]

00:02:02   pawns it's very strange [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/122">TS</a>]

00:02:04   so um I actually kind of like before we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/124">TS</a>]

00:02:07   get into talking about it i really liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/127">TS</a>]

00:02:10   reading something that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/130">TS</a>]

00:02:12   self-contained and wasn't a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/132">TS</a>]

00:02:14   thousand-page book that's one in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/134">TS</a>]

00:02:15   series it was really nice to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/135">TS</a>]

00:02:17   something short and sweet and I liked it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/137">TS</a>]

00:02:20   a lot but also i like i like the words a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/140">TS</a>]

00:02:25   lot and i liked the name [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/145">TS</a>]

00:02:26   for of words even more but there weren't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/146">TS</a>]

00:02:29   that many of them it was kinda nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/149">TS</a>]

00:02:31   yeah it's a story that it's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/151">TS</a>]

00:02:33   efficiently told some ways which is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/153">TS</a>]

00:02:35   to suggest that it's not without its art [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/155">TS</a>]

00:02:37   obviously but can be efficient i think i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/157">TS</a>]

00:02:40   mean i read this i read this on vacation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/160">TS</a>]

00:02:42   the week before we're recording this and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/162">TS</a>]

00:02:46   I read it in a day [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/166">TS</a>]

00:02:47   I mean like I finished a book the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/167">TS</a>]

00:02:49   previous book I was reading and I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/169">TS</a>]

00:02:50   like all right I'm certain your game [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/170">TS</a>]

00:02:51   because I brought it specifically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/171">TS</a>]

00:02:52   because i want to read on vacation and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/172">TS</a>]

00:02:55   ended up you know i read in a couple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/175">TS</a>]

00:02:56   like you know a couple settings settings [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/176">TS</a>]

00:02:59   like when i finished it before bed and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/179">TS</a>]

00:03:02   yeah i mean that is that's where it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/182">TS</a>]

00:03:04   been a long time since i read a book in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/184">TS</a>]

00:03:05   the day rather than couple settings [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/185">TS</a>]

00:03:07   rather than a tree that you like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/187">TS</a>]

00:03:09   forever by a lake [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/189">TS</a>]

00:03:11   I read by the lake i read it on a chick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/191">TS</a>]

00:03:13   in a chair all right I like a comfy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/193">TS</a>]

00:03:15   chair and a porch in a bed two sittings [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/195">TS</a>]

00:03:18   and two settings in a box with a fox fox [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/198">TS</a>]

00:03:21   yeah with my studies in my socks and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/201">TS</a>]

00:03:24   planning I did not read it in the rain I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/204">TS</a>]

00:03:27   would not could not read it in the rain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/207">TS</a>]

00:03:28   it's true anyways yeah I wouldn't it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/208">TS</a>]

00:03:30   funny because I just talked to sit down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/210">TS</a>]

00:03:38   science fiction fan and so he's like if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/218">TS</a>]

00:03:40   you read over the ocean at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/220">TS</a>]

00:04:01   often and it's refreshing it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/241">TS</a>]

00:05:24   discussion one of the things I really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/324">TS</a>]

00:05:25   liked about this book is ok first off [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/325">TS</a>]

00:05:29   Neil Gaiman is a really good writer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/329">TS</a>]

00:05:31   let's just say yeah well he's either [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/331">TS</a>]

00:05:32   that's a given let's just put that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/332">TS</a>]

00:05:34   enter that into evidence [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/334">TS</a>]

00:05:36   well there are a lot of successful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/336">TS</a>]

00:05:38   people were big fan followings I'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/338">TS</a>]

00:05:40   naming names who are even even something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/340">TS</a>]

00:05:44   like george RR martin who has got a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/344">TS</a>]

00:05:45   of things going for people whose books I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/345">TS</a>]

00:05:48   like we don't need to talk about like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/348">TS</a>]

00:05:49   feed and things like that people whose [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/349">TS</a>]

00:05:51   books i like but I read them i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/351">TS</a>]

00:05:53   well I like the idea is more than I like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/353">TS</a>]

00:05:55   the actual writing right real game is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/355">TS</a>]

00:05:58   good writer yeah and sometimes the words [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/358">TS</a>]

00:06:00   are to the you know to the service of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/360">TS</a>]

00:06:02   the book we you don't stop and reread [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/362">TS</a>]

00:06:04   that particular turn of phrase for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/364">TS</a>]

00:06:06   example and there's nothing wrong with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/366">TS</a>]

00:06:08   that either plenty of books i read where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/368">TS</a>]

00:06:09   it's like I've died like the story like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/369">TS</a>]

00:06:12   the characters not really paying a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/372">TS</a>]

00:06:13   of attention the writing but like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/373">TS</a>]

00:06:14   that that is sort of that's like gravy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/374">TS</a>]

00:06:17   for me like if you know and sometimes it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/377">TS</a>]

00:06:19   gets in the way like there are there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/379">TS</a>]

00:06:20   definitely writers who try too hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/380">TS</a>]

00:06:23   be like good like lyrical writers and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/383">TS</a>]

00:06:26   they that it just gets obfuscating in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/386">TS</a>]

00:06:29   terms of like the story but but his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/389">TS</a>]

00:06:31   stuff is subtle and not something you I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/391">TS</a>]

00:06:35   you know occasionally find myself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/395">TS</a>]

00:06:36   re-reading sentences and I'm realizing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/396">TS</a>]

00:06:38   that sir it's really really well-crafted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/398">TS</a>]

00:06:39   sentence did not show we necessarily no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/399">TS</a>]

00:06:43   no they're not just weren't but they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/403">TS</a>]

00:06:45   there to the point and yet I think about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/405">TS</a>]

00:06:48   your laurita sensitive man if I wrote [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/408">TS</a>]

00:06:49   that sounds that sounds would be like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/409">TS</a>]

00:06:51   super way boring way more boring [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/411">TS</a>]

00:06:53   yeah if you wrote that particular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/413">TS</a>]

00:06:56   sentence you like punch the air and get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/416">TS</a>]

00:06:57   up and go with you I'll be like oh my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/417">TS</a>]

00:06:59   god i'm neil gaiman that's amazing but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/419">TS</a>]

00:07:01   yeah yeah he's a good writer and um and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/421">TS</a>]

00:07:06   then I like the tone of this book and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/426">TS</a>]

00:07:07   and I've seen their similar tones and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/427">TS</a>]

00:07:10   some of the other books that he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/430">TS</a>]

00:07:11   written a lot of his books have this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/431">TS</a>]

00:07:13   kind of tone but I like that it's you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/433">TS</a>]

00:07:15   know it starts off as a memoir it turns [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/435">TS</a>]

00:07:18   into sort of a fairy tale it never it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/438">TS</a>]

00:07:23   never seems even when it's sort of at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/443">TS</a>]

00:07:26   its most scary or at least has the most [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/446">TS</a>]

00:07:29   plot complication by the antagonist of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/449">TS</a>]

00:07:32   the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/452">TS</a>]

00:07:33   it never I don't know it always seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/453">TS</a>]

00:07:36   kind of gentle I'll take issue with that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/456">TS</a>]

00:07:39   one particular scene but overall I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/459">TS</a>]

00:07:41   I fair enough i think i'll see where I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/461">TS</a>]

00:07:43   see where you're going a reminder there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/463">TS</a>]

00:07:44   is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/464">TS</a>]

00:07:45   yes that's right the core there's a some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/465">TS</a>]

00:07:47   ugliness but around especially the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/467">TS</a>]

00:07:48   part of it i mean yeah you really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/468">TS</a>]

00:07:50   essentially are reading his memoir and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/470">TS</a>]

00:07:52   until suddenly it becomes something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/472">TS</a>]

00:07:54   that's different but it's just it's i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/474">TS</a>]

00:07:57   don't know it was very pleasant to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/477">TS</a>]

00:07:59   the whole experience was pleasant in in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/479">TS</a>]

00:08:01   all the settings and settings that it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/481">TS</a>]

00:08:03   took three did make me think that like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/483">TS</a>]

00:08:05   other you mention the memoir part like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/485">TS</a>]

00:08:06   and knowing as much about neil gaiman as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/486">TS</a>]

00:08:08   i did because i have followed him for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/488">TS</a>]

00:08:11   many years and like personally like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/491">TS</a>]

00:08:13   foam around now I because I because I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/493">TS</a>]

00:08:15   read a lot of this stuff because i read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/495">TS</a>]

00:08:16   his blog i know a little bit about you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/496">TS</a>]

00:08:17   know his life whatever shares in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/497">TS</a>]

00:08:19   internet and so knowing that stuff it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/499">TS</a>]

00:08:21   was very interesting to read and try to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/501">TS</a>]

00:08:23   figure out how much of this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/503">TS</a>]

00:08:24   influenced by you know his own life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/504">TS</a>]

00:08:26   because it's not hard to read into that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/506">TS</a>]

00:08:30   at least in the beginning you know that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/510">TS</a>]

00:08:31   there's they're certainly elements of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/511">TS</a>]

00:08:33   sure but yeah I thought that was I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/513">TS</a>]

00:08:35   thought that was interesting one and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/515">TS</a>]

00:08:37   gentleness is what makes those horrific [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/517">TS</a>]

00:08:41   moments stand out and makes them that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/521">TS</a>]

00:08:44   much more effective to because it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/524">TS</a>]

00:08:48   almost like he's load you into this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/528">TS</a>]

00:08:50   just beautiful storytelling in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/530">TS</a>]

00:08:53   beautiful setting and even when I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/533">TS</a>]

00:08:57   the characters are doing that too right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/537">TS</a>]

00:08:59   yeah the the family whose name now the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/539">TS</a>]

00:09:04   hem stocks right they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/544">TS</a>]

00:09:06   great they keep reassuring him to in his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/546">TS</a>]

00:09:09   flashbacks that it's gonna be okay just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/549">TS</a>]

00:09:13   hold my hand everything's going to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/553">TS</a>]

00:09:14   fine and so not only is the writer and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/554">TS</a>]

00:09:17   the tone of the book reassuring you the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/557">TS</a>]

00:09:19   characters are reassuring the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/559">TS</a>]

00:09:21   protagonist it's gonna be okay don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/561">TS</a>]

00:09:24   worry about it just hold on it's gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/564">TS</a>]

00:09:25   be fine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/565">TS</a>]

00:09:26   well I'm not that worried it's not gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/566">TS</a>]

00:09:28   be a problem [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/568">TS</a>]

00:09:29   it's fine and then enforce it it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/569">TS</a>]

00:09:31   entirely five break when it's a way of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/571">TS</a>]

00:09:34   getting him through it and even at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/574">TS</a>]

00:09:36   end when he gets through in a different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/576">TS</a>]

00:09:40   way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/580">TS</a>]

00:09:40   trying not to spoil anything but again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/580">TS</a>]

00:09:44   it comes back to the reassurance and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/584">TS</a>]

00:09:46   yes of course that's exactly how it went [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/586">TS</a>]

00:09:49   yes it's okay the the writer reminded me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/589">TS</a>]

00:09:53   the most of the book that reminded me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/593">TS</a>]

00:09:55   the most up was actually ray bradbury [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/595">TS</a>]

00:09:57   something wicked this way cause like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/597">TS</a>]

00:10:00   yeah there's a very similar tone to that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/600">TS</a>]

00:10:03   book which is also sort of about dealing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/603">TS</a>]

00:10:05   with that childhood not quite the cusp [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/605">TS</a>]

00:10:10   of childhood but like there's an element [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/610">TS</a>]

00:10:11   of being a kid and being exposed to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/611">TS</a>]

00:10:13   these fantastical elements and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/613">TS</a>]

00:10:17   I think we all it's always interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/617">TS</a>]

00:10:19   to read a book from the perspective of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/619">TS</a>]

00:10:21   child especially like fancy books like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/621">TS</a>]

00:10:23   this because i don't know about you guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/623">TS</a>]

00:10:26   but I kind of really putting myself back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/626">TS</a>]

00:10:27   in the you know in the mindset of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/627">TS</a>]

00:10:29   feeling like a kid again and thinking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/629">TS</a>]

00:10:31   about how when you're a kid how real all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/631">TS</a>]

00:10:33   those things are to you and so there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/633">TS</a>]

00:10:35   lot of the book which for me at least [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/635">TS</a>]

00:10:38   the first half or so I reading through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/638">TS</a>]

00:10:39   like well there's a lot in here that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/639">TS</a>]

00:10:41   can kind of you could almost rationalize [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/641">TS</a>]

00:10:45   in a very logical like real world kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/645">TS</a>]

00:10:47   of way like there are real-world events [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/647">TS</a>]

00:10:49   that might cause a child to you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/649">TS</a>]

00:10:53   imagine these types of things compounded [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/653">TS</a>]

00:10:56   with you know something bad happening [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/656">TS</a>]

00:10:58   right like their traumatic events for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/658">TS</a>]

00:11:01   example that could happen and how that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/661">TS</a>]

00:11:03   might turn into a different sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/663">TS</a>]

00:11:05   story in your head as a child thinking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/665">TS</a>]

00:11:07   about it that are very different from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/667">TS</a>]

00:11:09   the perspective of being an adult which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/669">TS</a>]

00:11:11   is why you know when we sort of lead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/671">TS</a>]

00:11:12   into the book it starts with the adult [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/672">TS</a>]

00:11:14   and then regreses back to the kid for it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/674">TS</a>]

00:11:17   so I I thought that was very interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/677">TS</a>]

00:11:19   very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/679">TS</a>]

00:11:19   all done because it when you are kid all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/679">TS</a>]

00:11:22   that stuff is so real to you like I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/682">TS</a>]

00:11:25   being a kid you know if the idea of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/685">TS</a>]

00:11:27   a monster under your bed or something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/687">TS</a>]

00:11:28   like that right like that is that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/688">TS</a>]

00:11:29   real tangible thing to you as a child in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/689">TS</a>]

00:11:32   a way that doesn't really make sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/692">TS</a>]

00:11:33   into even looking back from an adult [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/693">TS</a>]

00:11:35   like oh how could I have even believe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/695">TS</a>]

00:11:37   that but at the time it doesn't matter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/697">TS</a>]

00:11:38   right like it's true as far as you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/698">TS</a>]

00:11:39   concerned because it has an effect on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/699">TS</a>]

00:11:41   you so I think he's great at capturing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/701">TS</a>]

00:11:43   that element of you know how real and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/703">TS</a>]

00:11:47   visceral these things feel as a child [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/707">TS</a>]

00:11:49   and just the idea of the unexplained [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/709">TS</a>]

00:11:51   should we fire off the spoiler horn and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/711">TS</a>]

00:11:54   talk about this a little more detail [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/714">TS</a>]

00:12:09   that this this this kid basically she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/729">TS</a>]

00:12:11   like a dead body right like that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/731">TS</a>]

00:12:12   first sort of major thing that happens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/732">TS</a>]

00:12:14   in the book I feel like I mean and else [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/734">TS</a>]

00:12:17   is a really horrific i mean like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/737">TS</a>]

00:12:18   thing before before there's before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/738">TS</a>]

00:14:40   terms of like the effects of something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/880">TS</a>]

00:14:42   that's real like so you know you feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/882">TS</a>]

00:14:43   like with the dead body and then later [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/883">TS</a>]

00:14:45   on there's in the other and i know this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/885">TS</a>]

00:14:47   is skipping around a little bit like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/887">TS</a>]

00:14:49   the antagonist of the book Ursula [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/889">TS</a>]

00:14:53   Monkton moncton like you know so she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/893">TS</a>]

00:14:57   basically like his father basically has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/897">TS</a>]

00:15:00   an affair with her right like you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/900">TS</a>]

00:15:02   almost see that as like in a real world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/902">TS</a>]

00:15:05   event that was viewed through the life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/905">TS</a>]

00:15:07   of a child she must be a monster because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/907">TS</a>]

00:15:08   she came in and broke up my family right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/908">TS</a>]

00:15:10   like and and that's the the line that it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/910">TS</a>]

00:15:13   walks that makes this so powerful for me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/913">TS</a>]

00:15:15   is like you know obviously not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/915">TS</a>]

00:15:18   everything is something that can be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/918">TS</a>]

00:15:19   explained rationally in this in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/919">TS</a>]

00:15:21   story but there are like little touch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/921">TS</a>]

00:15:22   points of that where that line is very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/922">TS</a>]

00:15:25   permeable for children right the line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/925">TS</a>]

00:15:27   between reality and fantasy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/927">TS</a>]

00:15:29   imagination and and I think that's he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/929">TS</a>]

00:15:32   does such a great job of capturing what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/932">TS</a>]

00:15:35   it's like to be a small child who has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/935">TS</a>]

00:15:37   that imagination especially because I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/937">TS</a>]

00:15:38   don't you guys but like identified with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/938">TS</a>]

00:15:40   him in terms of like you talk about him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/940">TS</a>]

00:15:42   read books all the time write like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/942">TS</a>]

00:15:44   was me like growing up like I read books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/944">TS</a>]

00:15:45   like all the time I had my nose in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/945">TS</a>]

00:15:48   book all the time and that's and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/948">TS</a>]

00:15:49   definitely how I felt at that point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/949">TS</a>]

00:15:50   about like the imagining all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/950">TS</a>]

00:15:52   adventures and stories and great things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/952">TS</a>]

00:15:53   that I could go off and be doing and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/953">TS</a>]

00:15:56   that is why it's such a such a great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/956">TS</a>]

00:15:59   piece of work in in terms of bringing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/959">TS</a>]

00:16:01   this character to life and that was to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/961">TS</a>]

00:16:43   of his parents as well now although it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1003">TS</a>]

00:19:09   oh yeah and there's the adaptation of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1149">TS</a>]

00:19:11   that arc in the graphic novels and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1151">TS</a>]

00:19:16   gets to the subplot where the Joker's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1156">TS</a>]

00:19:18   kidnapped all the newborn baby boys in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1158">TS</a>]

00:19:20   Gotham and is going to kill them one by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1160">TS</a>]

00:19:22   one and I'm sitting there just tears [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1162">TS</a>]

00:19:24   pouring down my face and going this is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1164">TS</a>]

00:19:27   bad man novel what is wrong with me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1167">TS</a>]

00:19:29   right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1169">TS</a>]

00:19:30   and ever since then I much more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:33   sensitive to things like that and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1173">TS</a>]

00:19:36   end of this book i read the last two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1176">TS</a>]

00:19:38   chapters with tears just pouring down my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1178">TS</a>]

00:19:40   face not you know I'm not having [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1180">TS</a>]

00:19:42   hysterics may be quiet but just I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1182">TS</a>]

00:19:45   couldn't stop and you know then it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1185">TS</a>]

00:19:48   just sort of like I described last night [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1188">TS</a>]

00:19:50   as the this sort of full chest feeling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1190">TS</a>]

00:19:54   of sorrow and joy and redemption and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1194">TS</a>]

00:19:59   sadness and you know just all-in-one and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1199">TS</a>]

00:20:02   you know the thought that you know it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1202">TS</a>]

00:20:07   almost it's almost going back to wrinkle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1207">TS</a>]

00:20:10   in time it's as if Charles Wallace [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1210">TS</a>]

00:20:13   didn't come back and saved the rest of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1213">TS</a>]

00:20:17   them if that makes sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1217">TS</a>]

00:20:19   Yeah right right yes yeah it you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1219">TS</a>]

00:20:22   right because it's that sacrifice of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1222">TS</a>]

00:20:25   one who spoons special and has the most [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1225">TS</a>]

00:20:28   special talent to save everybody else in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1228">TS</a>]

00:20:31   this case to save the unnamed narrator [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1231">TS</a>]

00:20:33   and you know so so having that echoing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1233">TS</a>]

00:20:38   for me was kinda weird to like oh my god [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1238">TS</a>]

00:20:41   i was thinking of Florida rings during [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1241">TS</a>]

00:20:43   when when they explain what's happening [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1243">TS</a>]

00:20:46   with letty at the end of this book where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1246">TS</a>]

00:20:48   she's been attacked and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1248">TS</a>]

00:20:50   is dying and I I think it's the you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1250">TS</a>]

00:20:52   it's so see metaphors there in the ocean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1252">TS</a>]

00:20:54   they're going off and the seabed might [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1254">TS</a>]

00:20:57   be back but the the ocean is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1257">TS</a>]

00:20:59   universe right it looks like you you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1259">TS</a>]

00:21:02   don't recognize her when she comes back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1262">TS</a>]

00:21:04   if she comes back i just love the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1264">TS</a>]

00:21:05   one line that i felt like i should have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1265">TS</a>]

00:21:08   important i was reading this in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1268">TS</a>]

00:21:09   hardcover so it's harder to highlight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1269">TS</a>]

00:21:11   things but the one that I remembered was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1271">TS</a>]

00:21:13   that the the narrator asks her at one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1273">TS</a>]

00:21:16   point he says but how old are you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1276">TS</a>]

00:21:18   she says 11 he says how long have you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1278">TS</a>]

00:21:21   been 11 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1281">TS</a>]

00:21:22   yeah what a great line the light falls [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1282">TS</a>]

00:21:24   on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1284">TS</a>]

00:21:25   yes that that's a sense for a long time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1285">TS</a>]

00:21:28   yeah so i mean her little brother is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1288">TS</a>]

00:21:29   jeff t yeah well see that's I I felt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1289">TS</a>]

00:21:35   like Ray Bradbury but i also got a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1295">TS</a>]

00:21:36   of Harlan Ellison in this well Neil [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1296">TS</a>]

00:21:39   Gaiman I mean this is his yeah right i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1299">TS</a>]

00:21:41   mean it's that it's that it's magical [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1301">TS</a>]

00:21:44   but it's it's it's not grounded [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:47   yeah exactly right it's grounded yeah in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1307">TS</a>]

00:21:49   a way that a lot of the the Harlan [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1309">TS</a>]

00:21:50   Ellison stuff is and I mean that's why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1310">TS</a>]

00:21:52   Neil Gaiman Harlan also know i mean i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1312">TS</a>]

00:21:54   think you know know each other pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1314">TS</a>]

00:21:56   well and I mean but here they are very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1316">TS</a>]

00:21:58   similar in in some ways and very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1318">TS</a>]

00:22:00   different mothers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1320">TS</a>]

00:22:01   even Neil Gaiman seems very gentle and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1321">TS</a>]

00:22:04   not but up although i will take as i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1324">TS</a>]

00:22:08   mentioned that one seal i was reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1328">TS</a>]

00:22:10   this out on the docket our lake and uh I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1330">TS</a>]

00:22:13   got to the bathtub scene and so the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1333">TS</a>]

00:22:17   scene in which his father basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1337">TS</a>]

00:22:18   tries to drown trying to drown him yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1338">TS</a>]

00:22:19   and I finished reading that and I close [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1339">TS</a>]

00:22:23   the book and just sort of give a visit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1343">TS</a>]

00:22:25   like a audible like you know I had to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1345">TS</a>]

00:22:29   stop at that was like the end of my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1349">TS</a>]

00:22:31   first sort of you know sitting reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1351">TS</a>]

00:22:33   it because it's just I could I needed to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1353">TS</a>]

00:22:35   breathe after that right like it was so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1355">TS</a>]

00:22:37   well done and so affecting of you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1357">TS</a>]

00:22:41   why I can imagine it right but like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1361">TS</a>]

00:22:45   know the idea of your father trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1365">TS</a>]

00:22:46   drown you like it is terrifying and but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1366">TS</a>]

00:22:51   you know that that element of being a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1371">TS</a>]

00:22:53   kid and being not having control right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:56   and not having and something has entered [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1376">TS</a>]

00:22:58   your world and it's change your world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1378">TS</a>]

00:23:00   and you don't like what's happened right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1380">TS</a>]

00:23:02   fundamentally that's what Ursula Monkton [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1382">TS</a>]

00:23:04   is that she's invested their house but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1384">TS</a>]

00:23:05   she's she's causing change and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1385">TS</a>]

00:23:08   changed that the about this boy you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1388">TS</a>]

00:23:10   for lots of good reasons doesn't like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1390">TS</a>]

00:23:12   but you can see the the metaphor there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1392">TS</a>]

00:23:15   yeah absolutely i just did but it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1395">TS</a>]

00:23:18   it was so affecting i had to put it on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1398">TS</a>]

00:23:19   ya and that almost never happens to me I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1399">TS</a>]

00:23:22   almost always you know so like yeah I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1402">TS</a>]

00:23:24   more stoic probably the day it's park [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1404">TS</a>]

00:23:26   yeah but like that but no idea that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1406">TS</a>]

00:23:28   it was a visceral like I need to set [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1408">TS</a>]

00:23:30   this aside for you know what our two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1410">TS</a>]

00:23:32   before I can go back to reading it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1412">TS</a>]

00:23:33   because that just that was that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1413">TS</a>]

00:23:35   pretty brutal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1415">TS</a>]

00:23:36   so can I talk about cats [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1416">TS</a>]

00:23:39   we'll just we'll just turn around and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1419">TS</a>]

00:23:41   you guys I'm not even about this book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1421">TS</a>]

00:23:43   looks just like cats you know if they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1423">TS</a>]

00:23:45   so soft and no in there are some their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1425">TS</a>]

00:23:48   cats in this book and it and it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1428">TS</a>]

00:23:50   just the poor kitten and the mean cat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1430">TS</a>]

00:23:52   that's the replacement for his poor kid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1432">TS</a>]

00:23:54   2010 Fresh perplex the field but they've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1434">TS</a>]

00:23:56   got the they've got the the this kitten [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1436">TS</a>]

00:23:59   that they find in the other you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1439">TS</a>]

00:24:02   fairy world basically where they go and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1442">TS</a>]

00:24:06   it comes back with them and it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1446">TS</a>]

00:24:09   kind of flips around in between and in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1449">TS</a>]

00:24:11   and it looks a lot like this kid many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1451">TS</a>]

00:24:14   have the died it's another black kitten [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1454">TS</a>]

00:24:16   and it appears at various points and out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1456">TS</a>]

00:24:20   at one point at the end I think there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1460">TS</a>]

00:24:22   a statement about him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1462">TS</a>]

00:24:23   him bringing back a kitten at some point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1463">TS</a>]

00:24:26   is gonna get his childhood and I just I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1466">TS</a>]

00:24:28   I don't have a whole like deep meaning [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1468">TS</a>]

00:24:31   of what the kitten is other than then I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1471">TS</a>]

00:24:33   really liked that there's this idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1473">TS</a>]

00:24:35   first off that there was this cat that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1475">TS</a>]

00:24:36   was special to him and then the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1476">TS</a>]

00:24:37   replacement was not acceptable and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1477">TS</a>]

00:24:39   also that cats are are these kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1479">TS</a>]

00:24:41   mysterious and semi magical creatures [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1481">TS</a>]

00:24:44   and they there they don't even come from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1484">TS</a>]

00:24:46   where you think they come from they come [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1486">TS</a>]

00:24:48   from this other land where they just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1488">TS</a>]

00:24:50   kind of appear and and i I just I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1490">TS</a>]

00:24:53   enjoyed that because it was just this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1493">TS</a>]

00:24:54   element that is that recurs that was fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1494">TS</a>]

00:24:56   and and I as a as a boy you know when I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1496">TS</a>]

00:25:01   was a boy I really liked cats and we had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1501">TS</a>]

00:25:03   we had cats out you know because I grew [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1503">TS</a>]

00:25:05   up in the country and we have less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1505">TS</a>]

00:25:06   outside cats and so that so that really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1506">TS</a>]

00:25:09   resonated with me that this is a boy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1509">TS</a>]

00:25:11   who's growing up and he has this cat and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1511">TS</a>]

00:25:13   then and then the cats kind of recur [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1513">TS</a>]

00:25:15   which is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1515">TS</a>]

00:25:16   it's such a funny little thing we didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1516">TS</a>]

00:25:18   have spawned the way accounts we had an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1518">TS</a>]

00:25:21   ocean ocean we had three cats at any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1521">TS</a>]

00:25:25   given time all through my childhood and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1525">TS</a>]

00:25:28   and we and we were kinda out in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1528">TS</a>]

00:25:30   country in Florida but after after i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1530">TS</a>]

00:25:34   left Florida didn't have cats until I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1534">TS</a>]

00:25:37   got married and moved out here because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1537">TS</a>]

00:25:40   my wife was are always a dog person and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1540">TS</a>]

00:32:54   magic because it doesn't play on are all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1974">TS</a>]

00:32:56   the things we know about magic instead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1976">TS</a>]

00:32:57   they're like stitching together like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1977">TS</a>]

00:32:59   reading reality it's so mundane is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1979">TS</a>]

00:33:01   known which is hilarious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1981">TS</a>]

00:33:06   together and they're reading the fabric [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1986">TS</a>]

00:33:08   of reality but they're not casting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1988">TS</a>]

00:33:09   spells or anything at some point he says [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1989">TS</a>]

00:33:16   don't do that but they they do succeed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1996">TS</a>]

00:33:18   in changing the parents memories and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/1998">TS</a>]

00:33:21   and making the toothbrush like appear or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2001">TS</a>]

00:33:24   retro actively be brought or whatever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2004">TS</a>]

00:33:26   right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2006">TS</a>]

00:33:28   there yeah oh yeah one I love the moment [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2008">TS</a>]

00:33:31   where he's being chased by the vultures [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2011">TS</a>]

00:33:35   of the void and that you know they start [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2015">TS</a>]

00:33:38   to attack and then it goes into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2018">TS</a>]

00:33:40   parentheses and italics where he feels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2020">TS</a>]

00:33:44   the sensation of dying he feels the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2024">TS</a>]

00:33:46   sensation of the culture ripping his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2026">TS</a>]

00:33:48   heart out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2028">TS</a>]

00:33:48   oh yeah and and then oh yeah and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2028">TS</a>]

00:33:50   all of a sudden it's nip and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2030">TS</a>]

00:33:52   everything's the seams came together and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2032">TS</a>]

00:33:54   suddenly he's fine and let is on top of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2034">TS</a>]

00:33:56   him and he set that up so beautifully by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2036">TS</a>]

00:33:59   doing the earlier thing of talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2039">TS</a>]

00:34:01   how they stitched together things and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2041">TS</a>]

00:34:04   snip here and snip there and put it back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2044">TS</a>]

00:34:06   together almost like a film [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2046">TS</a>]

00:34:07   and but he doesn't make a big deal of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2047">TS</a>]

00:34:10   in that moment it's just you have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2050">TS</a>]

00:34:11   remember that right but afterward they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2051">TS</a>]

00:34:13   make it clear that they basically went [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2053">TS</a>]

00:34:15   back and fixed it so he didn't get torn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2055">TS</a>]

00:34:17   up into little pieces [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2057">TS</a>]

00:34:19   yeah but it's so beautiful gasps oh I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2059">TS</a>]

00:34:24   and part of the reason i love this and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2064">TS</a>]

00:34:30   of his I've ever read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2070">TS</a>]

00:35:55   head but I think he's amazing as an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2155">TS</a>]

00:35:57   author I can turn one of those gushing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2157">TS</a>]

00:36:11   American Gods I like tonight is great i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:14   I didn't think I like well it wasn't too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2174">TS</a>]

00:36:16   long there was two there were probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2176">TS</a>]

00:36:18   some chapters in there that weren't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2178">TS</a>]

00:36:20   necessary that's problem [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2180">TS</a>]

00:36:21   true but I liked it a lot i I really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2181">TS</a>]

00:36:23   enjoyed that I just read never where I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2183">TS</a>]

00:36:26   like never wear and I liked it is fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2186">TS</a>]

00:36:29   IIF I read it I haven't seen the TV the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2189">TS</a>]

00:36:32   TV mini-series this we definitely has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2192">TS</a>]

00:36:34   aged poorly well so there's things that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2194">TS</a>]

00:36:37   are great about it and there are things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2197">TS</a>]

00:36:38   that are weird about it and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2198">TS</a>]

00:36:40   definitely is low budget and what was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2200">TS</a>]

00:36:42   odd about never wears the stories that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2202">TS</a>]

00:36:43   started as the TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2203">TS</a>]

00:36:45   yeah and then he injected into a novel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:47   which is very odd but some of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2207">TS</a>]

00:36:49   performances in there are fantastic the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2209">TS</a>]

00:36:51   guy who plays the Marquis is great and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2211">TS</a>]

00:36:54   that that will that I think that 10 so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2214">TS</a>]

00:36:57   yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2217">TS</a>]

00:36:57   Harrison Joseph was great in that he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2217">TS</a>]

00:36:59   fantastic was rumored at one point to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2219">TS</a>]

00:37:01   a doctor in the lander eleventh Doctor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2221">TS</a>]

00:37:16   the book I thought he does it again that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2236">TS</a>]

00:37:18   is such an interesting because it that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2238">TS</a>]

00:37:19   really about the permeation between the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2239">TS</a>]

00:37:21   lines of reality and fantasy right like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2241">TS</a>]

00:37:23   very very strongly delineating there and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2243">TS</a>]

00:37:26   that's kind of weird game and lives [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2246">TS</a>]

00:37:27   right like that's his that's his wheel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2247">TS</a>]

00:38:15   something that I really remember clearly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2295">TS</a>]

00:38:17   learning in childhood [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2297">TS</a>]

00:38:42   essentially a young adult book but and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2322">TS</a>]

00:38:45   he front loads it with the worst part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2325">TS</a>]

00:40:04   the two writers out there but there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2404">TS</a>]

00:40:07   parts of that book that stick with me to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2407">TS</a>]

00:40:08   this day even though i haven't read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2408">TS</a>]

00:40:36   have I think devoured almost everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2436">TS</a>]

00:40:39   that he's written at least four adults [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2439">TS</a>]

00:40:41   mostly young adults i have to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2441">TS</a>]

00:40:45   volumes of absolute sandman sitting on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2445">TS</a>]

00:40:47   my bottom shelf and some day will come [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2447">TS</a>]

00:40:48   not a collection but those aren't cheap [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2448">TS</a>]

00:40:53   shot well you feel you can figure out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2453">TS</a>]

00:40:55   how to do it right you can get a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2455">TS</a>]

00:40:56   bit cheaper than that but still he asked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2456">TS</a>]

00:40:57   they're expensive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2457">TS</a>]

00:40:58   yeah but they're gorgeous it's the only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2458">TS</a>]

00:41:01   tough part with them is like it's hard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2461">TS</a>]

00:41:02   to read because it's like they're so big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2462">TS</a>]

00:41:04   it's like the giant heart like you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2464">TS</a>]

00:41:06   10-pound hardcover books and you're like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2466">TS</a>]

00:41:13   it's the same thing is it's great but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2473">TS</a>]

00:41:15   it's it in Norma's the coffee table 10 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2475">TS</a>]

00:41:17   ya light light on the caption balancing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2477">TS</a>]

00:41:19   on your chest and wake up just before it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2479">TS</a>]

00:41:21   kills you when you fall it falls on your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2481">TS</a>]

00:41:23   face [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2483">TS</a>]

00:41:23   actually yes that's basically it so what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2483">TS</a>]

00:41:27   else what else to say about ocean at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2487">TS</a>]

00:41:29   end of the lane before we move on you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2489">TS</a>]

00:41:30   have any any other the scene we didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2490">TS</a>]

00:41:32   touch upon which i really like to my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2492">TS</a>]

00:41:33   cousin actually was saying it was his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2493">TS</a>]

00:41:35   favorite teen was the scene where they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2495">TS</a>]

00:41:37   bring the ocean to him and he goes into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2497">TS</a>]

00:41:40   the illusion right yeah that's that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2500">TS</a>]

00:41:42   that that's the premise of that I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2502">TS</a>]

00:41:43   the story it's the title and it's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2503">TS</a>]

00:41:45   idea that she calls it upon our notion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2505">TS</a>]

00:41:48   even though it's just a pond and then we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2508">TS</a>]

00:41:50   you know we we finally see we get the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2510">TS</a>]

00:41:53   payoff of you know that had just how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2513">TS</a>]

00:41:56   this thing is an ocean when he's he's in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2516">TS</a>]

00:41:58   it and he has to go in there there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2518">TS</a>]

00:42:01   they going to put a minute to protect [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2521">TS</a>]

00:42:03   him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2523">TS</a>]

00:42:04   yeah yeah yeah yeah and he but he can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2524">TS</a>]

00:42:07   see and he knows everything in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2527">TS</a>]

00:42:10   universe right yeah but if he was going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2530">TS</a>]

00:42:12   to stay there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2532">TS</a>]

00:42:14   the longer he would stay there the more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2534">TS</a>]

00:42:16   diffuse he would become until he was no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2536">TS</a>]

00:42:18   longer a person or being or a an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2538">TS</a>]

00:42:21   intelligence who just be spread out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2541">TS</a>]

00:42:24   yeah you can you can't know everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2544">TS</a>]

00:42:25   in the universe without just being the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2545">TS</a>]

00:42:27   universe so you have to you'll you'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2547">TS</a>]

00:42:30   you know you like a little alka-seltzer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2550">TS</a>]

00:42:32   pillage could get out of there is really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2552">TS</a>]

00:42:34   just dissolve away and that and then of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2554">TS</a>]

00:42:38   course that's what at what happens when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2558">TS</a>]

00:42:39   a lady is you know she has to go off i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2559">TS</a>]

00:42:42   like to that the the family came from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2562">TS</a>]

00:42:44   across the ocean to the old country [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2564">TS</a>]

00:42:48   yeah so that that's that that that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2568">TS</a>]

00:42:50   nice bit of mythology that if the ocean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2570">TS</a>]

00:42:53   is essentially the universe that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2573">TS</a>]

00:42:56   are from somewhere else and I you know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2576">TS</a>]

00:42:59   without there's a lot of that just now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2579">TS</a>]

00:43:01   touches where it's not overbearing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2581">TS</a>]

00:43:03   it's not full of detailed you know well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2583">TS</a>]

00:43:07   we came from this place and all that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2587">TS</a>]

00:43:08   it's just like they're from somewhere [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2588">TS</a>]

00:43:10   else you get it but if anybody needs any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2590">TS</a>]

00:43:13   more than that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2593">TS</a>]

00:43:14   what's wrong what's funny to me is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2594">TS</a>]

00:43:15   there's you know we're talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2595">TS</a>]

00:43:17   your practice i can go and there's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2597">TS</a>]

00:43:18   old mrs. hemp stock character is very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2598">TS</a>]

00:43:21   reminiscent to me of so there's there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2601">TS</a>]

00:43:24   a series of terry pratchett about these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2604">TS</a>]

00:43:27   witches including a Granny Weatherwax [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2607">TS</a>]

00:43:28   was like the oldest of old witches and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2608">TS</a>]

00:43:31   like there's not there's some there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2611">TS</a>]

00:43:32   something there with those two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2612">TS</a>]

00:43:33   characters in some ways they're very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2613">TS</a>]

00:43:35   similar very built from the same mold [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2615">TS</a>]

00:43:37   these like the wise old women who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2617">TS</a>]

00:43:39   kinda kinda Reverend at the same time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2619">TS</a>]

00:43:42   kinda catchy but like you know clearly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2622">TS</a>]

00:43:44   incredibly powerful and I think that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2624">TS</a>]

00:43:48   that there's interesting something in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2628">TS</a>]

00:43:49   there and also the fact that you know so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2629">TS</a>]

00:43:52   many of the characters someone mentioned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2632">TS</a>]

00:43:55   so many it i think it's one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2635">TS</a>]

00:43:56   blurbs here I thought that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2636">TS</a>]

00:43:58   interesting is someone comments and all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2638">TS</a>]

00:44:00   thinking all the women are brilliant and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2640">TS</a>]

00:44:01   I was like this is interesting that this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2641">TS</a>]

00:44:02   is this is a book that that very much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2642">TS</a>]

00:44:04   revolves around female characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2644">TS</a>]

00:44:06   despite the the antagonist being a boy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:08   but female characters certainly make up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2648">TS</a>]

00:44:12   the ball I mean the only other male [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2652">TS</a>]

00:44:14   characters i can think of are the father [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2654">TS</a>]

00:44:15   and the Minor Roger yeah and yeah he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2655">TS</a>]

00:44:18   doesn't last very long new but yeah and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2658">TS</a>]

00:44:22   even the father who spends most of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2662">TS</a>]

00:44:24   book being sort of a pond of Ursula [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2664">TS</a>]

00:44:26   Monkton right so that's you know that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2666">TS</a>]

00:44:28   an element to he asks the narrator asks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2668">TS</a>]

00:44:31   them about the about the women are made [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2671">TS</a>]

00:44:34   about the men are there are there men [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2674">TS</a>]

00:44:36   around there like why would we yes yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2676">TS</a>]

00:44:38   why we need them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2678">TS</a>]

00:44:39   Willingham sometimes but they go away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2679">TS</a>]

00:44:41   again we only need men to make more men [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2681">TS</a>]

00:44:44   yeah yeah I was there why would we want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2684">TS</a>]

00:44:47   to do that and get point it know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2687">TS</a>]

00:44:54   struck me reading the acknowledgments we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2694">TS</a>]

00:44:56   talked about how he wrote it and he goes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2696">TS</a>]

00:45:00   into how each night he would read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2700">TS</a>]

00:45:02   aloud in bed to his wife and he he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2702">TS</a>]

00:45:06   learned and discovered more about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2706">TS</a>]

00:45:08   words while he was reading them aloud [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2708">TS</a>]

00:45:10   and that had never happened to him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2710">TS</a>]

00:45:12   before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2712">TS</a>]

00:45:12   and I think that really comes through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2712">TS</a>]

00:45:14   that's that's part of why it just sound [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2714">TS</a>]

00:45:17   you know it's yeah and I mean I do that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2717">TS</a>]

00:45:21   all the time as a playwright because i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2721">TS</a>]

00:45:23   writing for things to be spoken aloud [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2723">TS</a>]

00:45:25   and so it was really neat to see how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2725">TS</a>]

00:45:30   this kind of shifted because it does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2730">TS</a>]

00:45:32   feel different to me from some of his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2732">TS</a>]

00:45:34   other novels and I don't know if that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2734">TS</a>]

00:45:36   it or if it's the just that the narrator [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2736">TS</a>]

00:45:38   is supposed to be a child but he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2738">TS</a>]

00:45:41   written from children's point of views [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2741">TS</a>]

00:45:42   before so that area is not child though [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2742">TS</a>]

00:45:44   the narrator is an adult for calling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2744">TS</a>]

00:45:46   being right right right not like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2746">TS</a>]

00:45:49   same next write the same i don't know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2749">TS</a>]

00:45:51   i read a few chapters of one of my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2751">TS</a>]

00:45:53   novels while we were my wife and I were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2753">TS</a>]

00:45:56   driving back from LA to San Francisco [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2756">TS</a>]

00:45:57   and the car radio was broken and she had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2757">TS</a>]

00:46:00   been reading this novel written so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2760">TS</a>]

00:46:02   just was reading chap the next chapters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2762">TS</a>]

00:46:04   boy was that and I mean honestly time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2764">TS</a>]

00:46:09   it's a humbling experience [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2769">TS</a>]

00:46:10   what an incredible thing to do because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2770">TS</a>]

00:46:13   all of your weaknesses are laid bare [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2773">TS</a>]

00:46:16   when you read 11 I I once tried to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2776">TS</a>]

00:46:19   record an audio book of one of my novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2779">TS</a>]

00:46:21   and like could not record the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2781">TS</a>]

00:46:23   chapter because i kept changing like no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2783">TS</a>]

00:46:25   got that sounds terrible have to change [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2785">TS</a>]

00:46:26   that like and then you get to the point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2786">TS</a>]

00:46:28   where it's like all right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2788">TS</a>]

00:46:29   even this is gonna take a ton of editing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2789">TS</a>]

00:46:31   oh I've gotta like go through read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2791">TS</a>]

00:46:33   all out change everything then go get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2793">TS</a>]

00:46:35   back and reread it and recorded but then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2795">TS</a>]

00:46:37   I'm probably just gonna find more stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2797">TS</a>]

00:46:38   that i need to change but it does your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2798">TS</a>]

00:46:40   words take on a totally different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2800">TS</a>]

00:46:41   character when they're spoken aloud like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2801">TS</a>]

00:46:43   the hay singh and that you mean you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2803">TS</a>]

00:46:46   this but like you know the pacing in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2806">TS</a>]

00:46:47   and where you take poz with them on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2807">TS</a>]

00:46:49   rhythm yeah and all this the sound [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2809">TS</a>]

00:46:52   yeah well one of the things I love i'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2812">TS</a>]

00:46:54   find a link to this for the show notes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2814">TS</a>]

00:46:56   because it's it is a lot of fun to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2816">TS</a>]

00:46:58   Elmore Leonard has these ten rules of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2818">TS</a>]

00:47:00   writing and I don't have them memorized [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2820">TS</a>]

00:47:03   but they're fantastic and there he is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2823">TS</a>]

00:47:06   right i mean they work their one of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2826">TS</a>]

00:47:09   is you know nobody expressed relates [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2829">TS</a>]

00:47:12   they said just say I know I know he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2832">TS</a>]

00:47:14   got the central I've heard that one you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2834">TS</a>]

00:47:16   know and they didn't say it explicitly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2836">TS</a>]

00:47:19   they just said it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2839">TS</a>]

00:47:21   you don't need your adverbs let the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2841">TS</a>]

00:47:23   adverbs go you know and then when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2843">TS</a>]

00:47:25   need one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2845">TS</a>]

00:47:26   it's there and it's effective because he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2846">TS</a>]

00:47:29   does he use adverbs every now and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2849">TS</a>]

00:47:31   just not very much and it really helps [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2851">TS</a>]

00:47:35   with that rhythm and it really helps [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2855">TS</a>]

00:47:36   with you know because a lot of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2856">TS</a>]

00:47:38   things we add in to sound smart when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2858">TS</a>]

00:47:41   we're writing he would never say out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2861">TS</a>]

00:47:43   loud you know and and when you strip all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2863">TS</a>]

00:47:46   those things away suddenly have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2866">TS</a>]

00:47:47   something that just it sounds real one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2867">TS</a>]

00:47:51   of the things that bugs me in reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2871">TS</a>]

00:47:55   dialog is when people address each other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2875">TS</a>]

00:47:58   by names a lot and then like that always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2878">TS</a>]

00:48:02   sounds fake to me yesterday and yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2882">TS</a>]

00:48:04   exactly convenient [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2884">TS</a>]

00:48:05   I know what yes Jason Jason I understand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2885">TS</a>]

00:48:08   what you're saying Jason but Jason's I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2888">TS</a>]

00:48:09   don't think you're fully thinking this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2889">TS</a>]

00:48:10   through Jason I don't think i am and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2890">TS</a>]

00:48:14   feels weird for me just like I'm saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2894">TS</a>]

00:48:16   guy but like which is interesting when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2896">TS</a>]

00:48:18   applied to this book where we have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2898">TS</a>]

00:48:20   character who never gets named right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2900">TS</a>]

00:48:22   like that's kind of on the other end of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2902">TS</a>]

00:48:23   the spectrum but it works right like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2903">TS</a>]

00:48:25   it's at the hem stocks get named the ham [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2905">TS</a>]

00:48:28   stock Sanderson to get named the opal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2908">TS</a>]

00:48:30   miner the father insisted the mother [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2910">TS</a>]

00:48:32   nobody else is only half sister doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2912">TS</a>]

00:48:35   have a name and it does she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2915">TS</a>]

00:48:36   yeah not that's not even occur to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2916">TS</a>]

00:48:38   until writer that's amazing yeah like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2918">TS</a>]

00:48:40   that singular way it doesn't it's not it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2920">TS</a>]

00:48:42   doesn't bother me registers a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2922">TS</a>]

00:48:44   books in which you would be like what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2924">TS</a>]

00:48:46   the heck is this guy's name already but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2926">TS</a>]

00:48:47   like you know I haven't seen that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2927">TS</a>]

00:48:50   so effectively pulled off since fight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2930">TS</a>]

00:48:52   club so the ocean at the end of the lane [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2932">TS</a>]

00:48:55   has already been optioned by Tom Hanks's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2935">TS</a>]

00:48:58   production company play tone and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2938">TS</a>]

00:49:00   he'll make a great little boy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2940">TS</a>]

00:49:02   yeah that's right to be great now the v [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2942">TS</a>]

00:49:04   well Tom Hanks's company which which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2944">TS</a>]

00:49:06   obviously was one of the co-producers of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2946">TS</a>]

00:49:08   like band of brothers and from the earth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2948">TS</a>]

00:49:12   to the moon and they're making they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2952">TS</a>]

00:49:16   an HBO series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2956">TS</a>]

00:49:17   mhm and then they are also doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2957">TS</a>]

00:49:21   apparently for a feature a option to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2961">TS</a>]

00:49:24   this so that's why i think a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2964">TS</a>]

00:49:26   pre-existing relationship there I the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2966">TS</a>]

00:49:29   the less the new story I've got on this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2969">TS</a>]

00:49:31   is from februari so obviously there you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2971">TS</a>]

00:49:34   know there's there's more purple an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2974">TS</a>]

00:49:35   introduction and the options it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2975">TS</a>]

00:49:37   interesting options don't always mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2977">TS</a>]

00:49:39   that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2979">TS</a>]

00:49:39   always filigree lights but that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2979">TS</a>]

00:49:41   interesting that the dead but that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2981">TS</a>]

00:49:44   where it is and yet you know again 200 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2984">TS</a>]

00:49:47   less than 200 pages [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2987">TS</a>]

00:49:48   this is the kind of story that you do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2988">TS</a>]

00:49:50   want to make a movie out of because you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2990">TS</a>]

00:49:52   don't have to drop you know seventy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2992">TS</a>]

00:49:55   percent of it in order to get online and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2995">TS</a>]

00:49:57   Game of Thrones or flipping through the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2997">TS</a>]

00:49:59   pages really fast like a harry potter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/2999">TS</a>]

00:50:01   book where it's like now just supposed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3001">TS</a>]

00:50:03   to say then over here you know I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3003">TS</a>]

00:50:04   argued for years the that a short story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3004">TS</a>]

00:50:06   makes a better movie than a novel right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3006">TS</a>]

00:50:08   because a novel is kind of it and short [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3008">TS</a>]

00:50:10   story every word has to count movies are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3010">TS</a>]

00:50:13   short stories you're exactly stories TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3013">TS</a>]

00:50:15   shows and movies TV shows novels example [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3015">TS</a>]

00:50:17   comic books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3017">TS</a>]

00:50:18   yeah yeah movies are short stories and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3018">TS</a>]

00:50:21   so adapting short stories are in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3021">TS</a>]

00:53:02   of they deal with a young man who is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3182">TS</a>]

00:53:52   crucible of gold about a dragon's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3232">TS</a>]

00:53:55   halfway to two-thirds of the way through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3235">TS</a>]

00:53:56   it probably I I read everything else in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3236">TS</a>]

00:53:59   the series but it's been many years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3239">TS</a>]

00:53:59   since i read the last one so i kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3239">TS</a>]

00:54:02   like but it's it's it's pretty good in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3242">TS</a>]

00:54:04   terms of the ability to sort of pick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3244">TS</a>]

00:54:06   it up even years later and be like oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3246">TS</a>]

00:54:08   yeah I kind of remember who the main [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3248">TS</a>]

00:54:10   characters this are in she's quite a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3250">TS</a>]

00:54:12   good writer and she does a great job of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3252">TS</a>]

00:54:13   capturing that sort of the other CS [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3253">TS</a>]

00:54:15   forester Patrick O'Brien like elements [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3255">TS</a>]

00:54:19   of the the swashbuckling nautical tales [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3259">TS</a>]

00:54:21   but like she goes interesting places [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3261">TS</a>]

00:54:23   with those books which I didn't think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3263">TS</a>]

00:54:24   that she would both quote-unquote [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3264">TS</a>]

00:54:27   literally in terms of like they spend a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3267">TS</a>]

00:54:29   lot of time sort of globe-trotting as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3269">TS</a>]

00:54:31   well as they could have been just sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3271">TS</a>]

00:54:34   of adventure fun series but she actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3274">TS</a>]

00:54:35   gets into some issues that i thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3275">TS</a>]

00:54:37   were really interesting in terms of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3277">TS</a>]

00:54:38   well these dragons are sentient em are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3278">TS</a>]

00:54:41   they basically slaves like what's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3281">TS</a>]

00:54:43   deal with that so it gets a little more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3283">TS</a>]

00:54:46   little more depth than I thought it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3286">TS</a>]

00:54:48   would originally and so this is like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3288">TS</a>]

00:54:50   sixth book in the series i think the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3290">TS</a>]

00:54:51   seventh one is coming out pretty soon so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3291">TS</a>]

00:55:01   David what a what have you been reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3301">TS</a>]

00:55:03   anything interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3303">TS</a>]

00:55:04   well I've been reading been doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3304">TS</a>]

00:55:07   research for something that involves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3307">TS</a>]

00:55:09   magic and magicians [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3309">TS</a>]

00:55:11   so what I'm not reading fiction reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3311">TS</a>]

00:55:14   this book called slights of mind which I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3314">TS</a>]

00:55:18   know Lex Friedman has red actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3318">TS</a>]

00:55:19   because we've talked about it and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3319">TS</a>]

00:55:21   about it's not just an optical illusion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3321">TS</a>]

00:55:24   but it's how illusions work and how our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3324">TS</a>]

00:55:27   minds try to rationalize them and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3327">TS</a>]

00:55:30   especially how we know that a magic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3330">TS</a>]

00:55:35   trick is a trick you know we know we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3335">TS</a>]

00:55:37   being distracted and yet we still go for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3337">TS</a>]

00:55:39   it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3339">TS</a>]

00:55:40   we still accept it why and so it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3340">TS</a>]

00:55:42   really interesting and it's it talks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3342">TS</a>]

00:55:44   with Penn & Teller a lot and a couple of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3344">TS</a>]

00:55:46   other magicians and pickpockets and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3346">TS</a>]

00:55:48   it's really fascinating research then on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3348">TS</a>]

00:55:52   the fiction side I've got this book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3352">TS</a>]

00:55:55   called summer and bird by Catherine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3355">TS</a>]

00:55:58   Catmull which my friend who just read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3358">TS</a>]

00:56:06   try reading a book that's all that right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3366">TS</a>]

00:56:08   oh my god you know it's a little more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3368">TS</a>]

00:56:11   poetic it's a little more fantasy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3371">TS</a>]

00:56:13   oriented than this necessarily but he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3373">TS</a>]

00:56:18   claims it's very much in line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3378">TS</a>]

00:56:20   that so I'm giving it a try and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3380">TS</a>]

00:56:42   coming that they know is going to hit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3402">TS</a>]

00:56:44   the earth and destroy it and so all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3404">TS</a>]

00:56:46   these people have you know quit their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3406">TS</a>]

00:56:48   jobs and they're going off to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3408">TS</a>]

00:56:50   whatever they want in the last few [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3410">TS</a>]

00:56:51   months before it hits and there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3411">TS</a>]

00:56:54   murder and this is his chance to step up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3414">TS</a>]

00:56:57   and be a policeman to be a real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3417">TS</a>]

00:56:59   detective instead of just a policeman so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3419">TS</a>]

00:57:00   he goes and tries to solve this murder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3420">TS</a>]

00:57:02   and it's the first of a trilogy and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3422">TS</a>]

00:57:05   second one just came out apparently and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3425">TS</a>]

00:57:08   so again I've had you know like five or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3428">TS</a>]

00:57:10   six people including scott McNulty hated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3430">TS</a>]

00:57:13   the first one was very good and I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3433">TS</a>]

00:57:17   like all right i'll give it a try i read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3437">TS</a>]

00:57:19   accelerometer by charles stross which I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3439">TS</a>]

00:57:22   really liked and charles stross is funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3442">TS</a>]

00:57:24   because some of his stuff i really like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3444">TS</a>]

00:57:26   and some of the stuff leaves me kinda [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3446">TS</a>]

00:57:27   cold his his halting state series that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3447">TS</a>]

00:57:32   set in the near future in Scotland an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3452">TS</a>]

00:57:34   independent Scotland as part of the EU [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3454">TS</a>]

00:57:36   they're fine they don't really thrill me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3456">TS</a>]

00:57:40   I like Saturn's children which is his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3460">TS</a>]

00:57:42   wild sex pot takes a grand tour of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3462">TS</a>]

00:57:45   solar system novel that was nominated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3465">TS</a>]

00:57:47   for Hugo accelerant oh I really liked it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3467">TS</a>]

00:57:50   so it's a little bit older [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3470">TS</a>]

00:57:51   that's one of his more well-regarded [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3471">TS</a>]

00:57:54   like that sort of one of his flagship [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3474">TS</a>]

00:57:55   novel yeah it's really good i guess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3475">TS</a>]

00:57:58   published 2006 it does feel a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3478">TS</a>]

00:58:01   the first few chapters he's doing a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3481">TS</a>]

00:58:03   of jargon that is recognizable uh that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3483">TS</a>]

00:58:07   that is cultural references and now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3487">TS</a>]

00:58:09   they're a little bit dated there seven [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3489">TS</a>]

00:58:11   years dated uh but but as you might have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3491">TS</a>]

00:58:14   set it as you might guess from the title [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3494">TS</a>]

00:58:16   things accelerate rapidly and you leave [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3496">TS</a>]

00:58:20   the the weakest chapters that are set in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3500">TS</a>]

00:58:23   the near very near future behind and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3503">TS</a>]

00:58:26   gets increasingly weird as it goes and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3506">TS</a>]

00:58:29   it tries to portray in a way that vernor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3509">TS</a>]

00:58:31   vinge e and a bunch of other writers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3511">TS</a>]

00:58:32   who've tried to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3512">TS</a>]

00:58:33   about the singularity when when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3513">TS</a>]

00:58:35   acceleration of human growth is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3515">TS</a>]

00:58:41   exponential and it's like you could be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3521">TS</a>]

00:58:43   humans won't even be able to understand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3523">TS</a>]

00:58:44   it will be things will be advancing so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3524">TS</a>]

00:58:46   fast and and so if you can portray that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3526">TS</a>]

00:58:48   you're like all right i mean like one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3528">TS</a>]

00:58:50   my favorite veggie novels he basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3530">TS</a>]

00:58:52   just everybody ahead in time a hundred [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3532">TS</a>]

00:58:53   years and there's nobody left in my cup [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3533">TS</a>]

00:58:55   the singularity must happen to well and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3535">TS</a>]

00:58:58   then continue on right so in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3538">TS</a>]

00:59:00   acceleration dos tres actually like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3540">TS</a>]

00:59:02   shows you tries to show you what the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3542">TS</a>]

00:59:04   singularity would be like if you're a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3544">TS</a>]

00:59:05   person who was living through it and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3545">TS</a>]

00:59:08   think he does a pretty good job it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3548">TS</a>]

00:59:10   I mean it's not perfect because it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3550">TS</a>]

00:59:12   very difficult concept he does have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3552">TS</a>]

00:59:14   little bit of a plot to string you along [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3554">TS</a>]

00:59:15   as well it does a lot of the same things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3555">TS</a>]

00:59:18   that I I sort of feel like Kim Stanley [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3558">TS</a>]

00:59:19   Robinson was trying to do in his Hugo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3559">TS</a>]

00:59:24   nominated 2312 but what I really liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3564">TS</a>]

00:59:29   about a XL Rondo and people i know who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3569">TS</a>]

00:59:32   listened to our Hugo cast know that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3572">TS</a>]

00:59:33   didn't really like 2312 I don't like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3573">TS</a>]

00:59:35   accelerometer did all sorts of things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3575">TS</a>]

00:59:37   that that Kim Stanley Robinson just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3577">TS</a>]

00:59:39   failed to do with 2312 that for a guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3579">TS</a>]

00:59:41   who gets tagged a lot of times as being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3581">TS</a>]

00:59:43   a strong as being a guy who's a you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3583">TS</a>]

00:59:46   tech guy and he's more interested in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3586">TS</a>]

00:59:48   lot of the technology stuff than the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3588">TS</a>]

00:59:50   than the people i think that's one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3590">TS</a>]

00:59:52   the I i think that might be a knock on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3592">TS</a>]

00:59:55   him is that is that he doesn't always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3595">TS</a>]

00:59:56   have these his character healing Karen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3596">TS</a>]

00:59:56   have these his character healing Karen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3596">TS</a>]

01:00:00   that's right but and yet in Excel Rondo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3600">TS</a>]

01:00:02   like people are people in the future and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3602">TS</a>]

01:00:06   they have passions and they have loves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3606">TS</a>]

01:00:08   and there's there's even in these women [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3608">TS</a>]

01:00:11   there is a scenic accelerometer where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3611">TS</a>]

01:00:13   there's an entire culture that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3613">TS</a>]

01:00:15   running in a in a virtual reality [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3615">TS</a>]

01:00:16   simulation on a little chip that's in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3616">TS</a>]

01:00:19   spaceship the size of a soda can that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3619">TS</a>]

01:00:21   half way to Alpha Centauri on a giant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3621">TS</a>]

01:00:23   solar sail and yet there is still petty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3623">TS</a>]

01:00:26   human jealousy and misunderstandings and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3626">TS</a>]

01:00:29   all sorts of things happening in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3629">TS</a>]

01:00:30   virtual reality in the soda-can because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3630">TS</a>]

01:00:33   people are people and i like that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3633">TS</a>]

01:00:35   he you can you can talk about the future [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3635">TS</a>]

01:00:37   and completely indescribable social [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3637">TS</a>]

01:00:39   change and technological change and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3639">TS</a>]

01:00:42   still have a novel with a real beating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3642">TS</a>]

01:00:44   human heart which accelerometer I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3644">TS</a>]

01:00:46   house so I liked it and it's it is weird [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3646">TS</a>]

01:00:49   but but I think good weird so I like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3649">TS</a>]

01:00:52   that and then the other one I would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3652">TS</a>]

01:00:53   mention is i'm reading roger ebert's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3653">TS</a>]

01:00:56   memoir life itself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3656">TS</a>]

01:00:58   he is a good he is a really good writer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3658">TS</a>]

01:01:01   speaking of people who are good writers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3661">TS</a>]

01:01:02   and a lot of that was in blog form and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3662">TS</a>]

01:01:06   various points on his site and but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3666">TS</a>]

01:01:08   there's also a lot of original material [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3668">TS</a>]

01:01:09   and it's all put together it's not like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3669">TS</a>]

01:01:12   a collection of blog post is written in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3672">TS</a>]

01:01:13   chapters about his life and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3673">TS</a>]

01:01:16   fascinating because it even as just a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3676">TS</a>]

01:01:18   portrait of a an American from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3678">TS</a>]

01:01:22   Midwest in the middle you know from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3682">TS</a>]

01:01:24   middle of the 20th century and looking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3684">TS</a>]

01:01:27   at that and then looking at sort of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3687">TS</a>]

01:01:29   height of newspaper journalism and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3689">TS</a>]

01:01:33   it's a fascinating read by a guy who is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3693">TS</a>]

01:01:35   really you know a really good writer and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3695">TS</a>]

01:01:37   you know it's funny we talk about a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3697">TS</a>]

01:01:40   of books on this podcast the thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3700">TS</a>]

01:01:43   strikes me more than anything else [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3703">TS</a>]

01:01:44   within the characters more than the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3704">TS</a>]

01:01:45   story more than the plots is if you get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3705">TS</a>]

01:01:47   somebody who can write who like has a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3707">TS</a>]

01:01:50   has a great style and tone I'll follow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3710">TS</a>]

01:01:53   them almost anywhere because those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3713">TS</a>]

01:01:54   people are not that easy to find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3714">TS</a>]

01:01:57   yeah we were saying sometimes you follow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3717">TS</a>]

01:01:59   along with a writer because it'll be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3719">TS</a>]

01:02:01   like you like two plots you like their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3721">TS</a>]

01:02:03   characters you like their sense of humor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3723">TS</a>]

01:02:05   and then there are those writers that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3725">TS</a>]

01:02:06   you think they just got it and I Roger [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3726">TS</a>]

01:02:09   Ebert of all you know people we think of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3729">TS</a>]

01:02:11   him as the two thumbs up you know movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3731">TS</a>]

01:02:13   critic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3733">TS</a>]

01:02:13   he is such a great writer and in some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3733">TS</a>]

01:02:16   ways I think we didn't realize it until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3736">TS</a>]

01:02:18   or most people didn't realize it until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3738">TS</a>]

01:02:20   he started blogging after he lost his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3740">TS</a>]

01:02:21   voice anyway great fun and that's why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3741">TS</a>]

01:02:25   when we were in the Midwest we went to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3745">TS</a>]

01:02:26   steak and shake because inside it must [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3746">TS</a>]

01:02:28   be right and I'm California I've never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3748">TS</a>]

01:02:30   been to a snake and check before but we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3750">TS</a>]

01:02:31   went because of roger ebert so there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3751">TS</a>]

01:02:33   don't ya [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3753">TS</a>]

01:02:37   on my kindle right now and drank it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3757">TS</a>]

01:02:39   good it's good i mean i read it i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3759">TS</a>]

01:02:41   reading bits because you can just sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3761">TS</a>]

01:02:42   of read a few chapters and co-read novel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3762">TS</a>]

01:02:44   and then come back and read a few more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3764">TS</a>]

01:02:45   chapters and it's enjoyable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3765">TS</a>]

01:02:48   alright I think we got to the end at to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3768">TS</a>]

01:02:51   the ocean at the end of the lane at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3771">TS</a>]

01:02:52   pot and the podcast have probably been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYhHE4E/3772">TS</a>]
