Welcome back to Hardcore Literature, your favourite book club.

Deep dives into the greatest books ever written.

Provocative poems, evocative epics, and life-changing literary analyses.

We don't just read the great books. We live them.

Together we'll suck the marrow out of Shakespeare, Homer, Tolstoy and many more.

We'll relish the most moving art ever committed

to the page and stage from every age. Join us and me, your host, Benjamin McAvoy, on the

reading adventure of a lifetime with hardcore literature. Hello and welcome back to

hardcore literature. I hope you're doing well and I hope your reading is going well. Today we have a little bit of a different show because this audio is actually taken from a video. We're going to be talking about the book club schedule for 2022. It's really exciting. We've got some tremendous reads and it's going to be a wonderful

year. If you would like to see the video, then it's available at my YouTube channel, Benjamin

McAvoy and McAvoy is spelled MCEV-O-Y. So I've taken the audio from that because that runs

through the schedule rather nicely and you can also download the schedule

happy to say that there most certainly is. So thank you so much for being you. Thank you for reading
