Hey everyone. Imagine sharing the idea that in order to write books or poetry, one needs their

own room and enough money to not starve to death. But imagine you're not allowed to work most

jobs or own property. And then imagine saying all this in 1929 and being criticized as a zealot

just for bringing any of it up. Today's book is A Room of One's Own

by Virginia Woolf. And this is the Book Pile. All right, if this is your first time, welcome. The

Bucpile is a comedy podcast about the best of books and the worst of books. I'm Kellanerskin. I'm a comic,

a father, and I am currently recording this in a room

of somebody else's own because I'm staying at an Airbnb. And I'm David Vance.

Kellan, I loved Virginia Woolf's writing so much that now I'm kind of intrigued, and I want to read her way jankier cousin, West Virginia Wolf.

All right, as usual, feel free to help us out and leave a review. One of the latest five-star reviews comes from Jess Taylor's.

She says, quote,

the only other person I've heard use the word superfluous is Cindy Lou Who in the Grinch.

I struggle not to laugh out loud while listening in the office.

I love the increase in my vocab and the laughs.

Seriously, thank you.

And I don't know about you, Dave. I don't know which of us it was.

I'm 80% sure it was you, but I think both of us want to be the person that she heard the word superfluous from.

Is this from the Grinch movie? Because in the book, I'm trying to think of a word or a series of words that rhyme with

superfluous like did Eminem write a page he probably did it the way you write dr. Seuss rhymes which is

he wrote in on a scufurfinus and said this is superfluous I. I would believe that in a second.

If Dr. Zuz really was in his heart racist, as I guess part of the country seems to think he was,

wouldn't it be funny if the hell that he went to was just full of his worst drawn creatures?
