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 analyze the second half of UPSTREAM, an essay collection by Mary Oliver. This one's for all you wayward souls who've wandered through the woods, built a ramshackle treehouse, or gleefully ran outside to play in the mud. Oliver's blissful and soulful (and, sure, I'll say it: at times, pretty weird!) connection to nature makes this an essay collection well worth while; consider her ruminations on some canonized American authors a nice bonus. Don your strongest SPF sunscreen and wander in the rhetorical woods with us.
