Hey, everyone. Welcome to The Book Pile, a podcast about the best of books and the worst of books.

If you're new to the podcast, welcome. If you're familiar with the podcast, but haven't heard

this episode yet, you should. It's a lot of fun. Then I think I just broke the record for the

number of times. Someone has said the word podcast in under 15 seconds. But seriously, this is a

digitally remastered reissue of an episode

that we did in 2022, and I think it's a good time. And dare I say, pretty helpful, but mostly

just fun, unless you're a big fan of the band, YouTube. Real quick, if today's book,

lateral thinking sounds interesting to you, consider supporting

the podcast by purchasing that book through the link in this episode's description.

Also, tune in next week for a brand new episode where me and Dave will cover the three-body problem,

of which the TV adaptation is currently not just on Netflix, but number one on Netflix. Not sure

why that matters, but I think that it means that if most Netflix subscribers are watching it,

then you should listen to this podcast. Also, next week we'll be recording another episode

with my favorite comedian, Chad Daniels. We're going to be discussing

our favorite poems. Each of us only gets to bring one poem to the table, me, Dave, and Chad.

But if you are a member of our Patreon, you also have the chance to submit your favorite poem

to us to discuss with Chad. Plus, we'll mention your name.

So, if you're not a member yet, consider checking it out at the patreon.com slash the bookpile.

And if you join, you'll just head straight to our page of weekly bonus mini episodes,

and you can leave the name of your favorite poem in the comment.

You've got just one more week to submit by April 2nd,

and then that episode will be released Monday, April 8th.
