And Glasser named Maddie suggested our favorite books of all time.

And I was like, fuck yeah, that sounds sick.

Great.

But first, Brea, what are you reading on this auspicious episode? I am listening to a book for my book club.

I'm listening to Ira Levin's A Kiss Before Dying, which I've never read before.

Ooh, I do love Ira Levin.
