The Bookening
Summary: 3 guys—a pastor, a scholar, and their gleeful provocateur—discuss the great books. We take God and literature seriously—but the second one not overly so.

FANNY FOREVER! This is an episode of the greatest literature podcast ever on the subject of Mansfield Park by the one and only Jane Austen. Enjoy.
What's this??? An episode of The Lookening!!!! Aka our heroes are reviewing a movie. What is said movie you ask? It's Shadowlands.
Our heroes continue their epic journey through all the books they read in 2017. They award prizes for the best line, best setting, worst book, best book and more!
Our heroes are looking back on all the books they read in 2017 and awarding the coveted Bookening awards of excellence.
Our heroes continue to discuss Til We Have Faces, and decide that the ending freaks them out. Here's some things that happen:
Our heroes dig into the semi-wonderful, but also kinda icky story of CS Lewis , and his final novel Till We Have Faces.
This episode requires a bit of explanation. What happened was that our heroes gathered together to record their 2017 year-in-review. But, as you'll hear, one thing led to another, and before they knew it, they had recorded an episode on Star Wars, and why this new movie (with its abandonment of the traditional Star-Warsian mythological underpinning) is probably a death knell for the franchise. We do still plan on doing a 2017 Redux, but it will be later in January, after Til We Have Faces. Warning: Spoilers abound, even apart from in the part that Nathan says contains spoilers.
Drumroll ... our heroes reveal the complete book list and talk about what to expect on The Bookening Season 3 for 2018.
Our heroes continue to discuss Dubliners by James Joyce, which they didn't care for, plus "Araby" and "The Dead" which they did.
Apologies, we were going to do our 2018 booklist this week, but for boring behind-the-scenes reasons it ended up making more sense to do Dubliners first. However, if you want to get reading for 2018, we're doing CS Lewis's Til We Have Faces in January and Mansfield Park by Jane Austen in February.
Our heroes are joined by their old pal Dani McNeilly to have some fun and give their thoughts on the Kenneth Branagh movie of Murder on the Orient Express.
We're taking this week off to be with our families and all that sort of crap, but here's twenty minutes of our heroes attempting to make the announcement that we're taking this week off to be with our families and all that sort of crap. Enjoy! And happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for all our awesome listeners!
This episode is a second episode about Martin Dressler.
IT'S WHAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, OUR DISCUSSION OF MARTIN DRESSLER BY STEVEN MILLHAUSER, WAHOOOOOOO!!!!
Our heroes and friend Andrew conclude their epic discussion of the one and only Ray Bradbury.
