Each week, join life-long friends Kari and Alexis as they use literature to humorously explore pop culture and personal peculiarities with a dash of relatable cynicism.
Travel across worlds real and imagined with dramatic readings of their favorite passages. Take a break from your routine with a book club that doesn’t judge. Just kidding, they’re judgy.

Thank you so much!!! Due to the recent loss of a family member, we are taking a break to spend time with family and friends. Please enjoy listening to episodes from our past four seasons until we return on August 8th. ❤️ - Alexis and Kari, LIT Society
I pre-ordered this book but never could settle down and focus on reading it. I only read Yellow Wife because I joined a book club on a whim. I probably wouldn’t have read the book on my own without recommendation because I transitioned to fantasy as a way of escapism. That book tore me apart and built me up. I’m glad I finally devoted my time to reading this book. I enjoyed it and wanted to connect with other readers of this book. #062424
I'm currently studying this book as one of my readings for my advanced American Literature exam. I literally wrote a research paper about how Beauty and the Beast and the Great Gatsby are similar. There's a quote in the book that might allude to Gatsby's skin color. Interesting point, it reminds me of Wuthering Heights where Heathcliff is probably a black or Indian man.
I recently listened to a podcast about Kafka and found his life story to be very saddening. The most interesting thing to me was he wrote his father a letter pouring out his heart and telling him how the abuse he suffered in childhood affected him throughout his life, finally confronting and calling his father out. He gave this letter to his mother to give to his father and after she read it she chose not to give it to him!!! If I was Franz I would have haunted her from the grave until she gave him that doggone letter. Thanks for another great episode! ❤
McCarthy has a distinct writing style like no one else. It’s a poetic, violent, bleak, straightforward and philosophical. Clean is such a great way to describe it. It’s kind of like western noir.
Cormac McCarthy is my favorite author because of how clean his writing is and I’m so excited to hear 2 women discuss this book because there’s too many reviews from men 😂
I watched this movie a few years ago with my husband and we both enjoyed it. But listening to you guys on this episode of Lit Society made me want to read the book.
