Hey, hey, everyone, it's 3752 pages. We'll never get back. This is Michael J. Nelson along with Connor Lestoka. We worked together over at Rift Tracks. Conner came to me one day and he said there's a book you're really going to hate and I want to read it with you and say things into a microphone so we did. Connor, how are you?

Good, Mike. And yeah, we've been using

that tag as book club about books. We're probably going to hate for this for some reason. And,

you know, I don't know if that necessarily applies to this new book that we're going to start

reading. Oh, not at all. Spoiler alert, not at all. Yeah, we've read a few books that we enjoy, and, you know, I think that we hated Sean Penn's book.

We came close to hating Ernest Klein's book, but we're also reading some books that are just sort of out there and extremely amusing and borderline enjoyable to read.

And I think this is going to fall into that Jim Tice,

Eye of Argon category that Dwight David Thrash 64 Squares territory.

Just my guess.

I don't think you're far off the mark.

This is an odd one.

Why don't you explain what it is?

Yeah, so we talked about it before,

and so we didn't do a whole intro episode about it,

but we're reading,

Trucking Through Time by Charles E. Harris,

Charles E. Harris,

a former equipment truck driver

for the Tennessee of Volunteers College Football Team.

So it was published in 2002, I believe, self-published, I guess, through some sort of print-on-demand.

And Charles E. Harris, unfortunately, is no longer with us, but he left behind this gift for us all that's been a pretty much undiscovered book

until one of our listeners recommended it to us.
