I'm really sad to see this podcast going to an end, it was certainly one of the best of its kind.

no mention of Fedallah? Too bad. I needed help with that character and the fate he suffered.

Bashing California "libs" is not a smart way to build an audience. There are 40 million of us and 1 of you. LOL. So many better podcasts on Antigone than this one.

This is one of the neatest reviews. It is clear, sharp and it does not spoil the book for those who haven't read it yet. As a Bradbury fan, I'm more than satisfied. Do invite this man again, please. Thank you.

I was really disappointed that the host hadn't actually read the books. Discussions would have been so much more interesting if he had been informed.

I thought this was a discussion *about" Don Quixote, but it's basically someone who's read it explaining it to someone who hasn't read it. is this meant to be cliff notes for great books we haven't read?
