Unlocking Great Books 59 - Fiction Show and Tell

We took another dive into the large pile of books…and came up with handfuls of fiction!!


Today we chat fiction, why we read fiction, and why you should read fiction too. Carl introduces the Sorbet/Teppenyaki/Kale framework, and Seán discusses books to share with others, and books to escape.


The longlist of what we covered:

  • Gregg Hurwitz Orphan X series (we talked about the latest episode, "Nemesis)
  • Mick Herron Slow Horses series
  • Richard Flanagan "The Narrow Road to the Deep North"
  • Hanya Yanagihara, "A Little Life"
  • Leo Tolstoy “War and Peace”
  • Richard Osman “Thursday Murder Club” and series
  • Robert Ludlum “The Bourne Identity”
  • Tom Clancy “Hunt for Red October”
  • Lucinda Riley “The Seven Sisters”
  • Graham Greene “Our Man in Havana”
  • Lee Child Jack Reacher series
  • Judith Kerr “When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit”
  • James Joyce “The Dead” - a short story.


Fill your boots! And let us know some goodies.
