Hey everyone. For our 200th episode, we thought it would be fun to discuss a book about a guy who goes back in time to attempt to erase about 20% of the jokes we've made on the podcast.

0:12.3

Today's book is about a time traveling man who tries to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

0:19.4

This is 1122.63 by Stephen King. And this is the book pile.

0:27.9

A podcast about the best of books and the worst of books. If this is your first time to the podcast,

0:32.9

welcome. And just a quick piece of caution. Again, if this is your very first time, it might not be a complete, you know, accurate version of the tone that we generally have on here.

0:43.5

We don't always joke about death and murder on the podcast.

1:31.1

But I'm just going to be patient because I'll do something that he never did the day I turned 47.

1:38.5

Yeah.

1:40.7

And I'm David Vance.

1:42.4

What if you went back in time to try and stop the JFK assassination,

1:46.0

and instead you accidentally killed him even more?

1:52.6

You come back to the president,

1:54.2
