[Rebroadcast] The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Book Discussion

Kendall Bookworms

Hello all,

I have some bad news for all of our loyal fans. This month, Alex and I were unable to get a new episode recorded for the bonus material. Not wanting to leave it as a blank, I decided to rebroadcast our most popular episode by far. Part-Time Indian has over 100 downloads. So, obviously we did something right here. For all those fans that have not yet had a chance to listen to this, please enjoy.

Also, an important milestone was reached. Our show has passed the 2,000 downloads overall! Super excited about that. So all of you loyal fans, thank you. I hope that you still enjoy this episode and are willing to help our numbers out by downloading this again, commenting on this episode or another favorite of yours, or sharing with your friends.

We will be back to our normal broadcasting schedule next month with a Joe pick. We will be discussing The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess. That will be out on the 5th of October.

We will also have a new bonus episode recorded for October 20th. So never fear.

In this episode, Alex and Joe discuss another controversial book. Today we are talking about The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. We don't delve too deeply into the controversy about the author, as neither of us looked too hard into it. It didn't really have much to do with the assigned reading. What we do discuss though, is how much we both enjoyed rereading this fun little story about an Indian leaving the reservation. We hope you get something out of this discussion also.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making). Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.
