David, I love your metaphor for the humidity at the beach - “an unobtrusive blanket of summery cheer”. Apt & beautiful. When living in Houston, I described it to others as a “dripping weighted wool blanket” - obnoxiously obtrusive!
I’m deep into East of Eden, so much so that I was considering skipping AMITC, but after reading this invitation, I look forward to reading it this weekend.
I started reading a few days ago and I’m really loving it so far! At first take I love that Australian cover, but I’m not familiar with the whole book yet so that could change. Enjoy your getaway!
I adore this book! This will be my third time reading it, and I can’t wait to hear what you all say about it. I have the Penguin cover. Love how light-filled it is.
This is a favorite of mine as well, David! Looking forward to the discussion. Hope you are enjoying your time off!
I am reading the Kindle edition, which doesn't have page numbers. How far should I go for the first episode?
Never mind. There are page numbers after the introduction.
I’m planning on taking it on our weekend trip for the 4th too! Mountains for us this time.

I thought the next book was to be East of Eden ?
Sorry for the confusion! To clarify here is the deal:
For the main show: A Minth in the Country.
For the subscriber bonus shows: East of Eden
That's the subscriber bonus book. A Month in the Country is for the Close Reads podcast.
