This week, Travis and Amanda analyze the first half of AYOADE ON TOP, comedic & satirical analysis Richard Ayoade. Should you decide to read this book, first, a word of warning: Please don't start until you've seen "View from the Top," the decidedly bad romcom that is its primary focus. Without such critical knowledge, you will not be able to access the -- truly -- remarkably sharp and hilarious satire Ayoade has constructed here. We think it's well worth the extra time, and Amanda and I can offer no greater praise than this: We both laughed a lot while reading this book, which is a rarity! So update your passports and update your physical, we're going to flight attendant school.

Book Rec: A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie
This week, Travis and Amanda recommend A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED, a murder mystery by Agatha Christie. It's our first time covering a work by the undisputed Queen of Murder Mysteries, so we set our expectations appropriately high. And, for the most part, Christie delivers! It's a tale of English village gossip, insider/outsider dynamics, and class disparities. If you're a fan of Christie, then don't overthink this one and join us. And if you've never read her before (like Travis hadn't!), then this is a perfectly good place to start.
