Hello, I'm David Kern.

And I'm Heidi White.

And you are listening to Close Reads, a podcast for The Incurable Reader.

Heidi, welcome back to the show.

Thank you, David.

It's good to be here.

It's a rare occurrence.

So it's a rare occurrence that it's good to be here?

No.

It's, oh, man, my joke is ruined.

Now I'm going to feel like glory.

Flummoxed?

Flummixed.

I'm so flummoxed.

Flummoxed like glory.

You can't recover, yeah.

That should be the name of the sequel to this book.

Should have been flummoxed.

Flamixed like glory. So we are here to discuss Marilynne Robinson's home. We're going to discuss pages 100 through 150. And we're right in the thick of things as far as this book goes. Next week when we discuss the next section, roughly pages 150 through 200, Sarah Jane Bentley will be joining us.

You've listened to her a time or two on the show, and she's going to be filling in for Tim, who, if you've been listening, you know that he just moved, and he's helping to take care of his dad who is having some health problems.

So keep Tim, continue to keep Tim in your, in your prayers,

if you would. He also just had a birthday. So I think I mentioned that last week, but shout out to Tim
