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.

This week, Travis and Amanda recommend THE EMPLOYEES, a novel by Olga Ravn. Despite humanity's impressive foray into interstellar space, problems of labor, consciousness, and attraction abound in this vexing but worthwhile novel. As it beguilingly investigates, humanity can't seem to outrun our troubles if they've been inside of us the entire time! And it certainly doesn't help if your fellow crew members begin to feel inexplicable sexual (and psychological...?) attraction to alien objects. Join us if you're a fan of "weird fiction" or want something a little bit more experimental mixed in with your sci fi.
