Hey everyone. This is a book of poetry that I only read because I saw it on Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

And isn't poetry more interesting if you assume the poets are hitmen? Maybe Frost took the road

less traveled because he saw the bloody footprints of his quarry. Perhaps nevermore was the

Raven confirming a hit on a foreign attache.

And don't you think Maya Angelou got John Wick's style revenge on whoever was putting her

birds in cages?

Today's book is The Prophet by Khalil Ghi Braun.

And this is The Book File, a podcast about the best of books and the worst of books. If this is your first time

to the podcast, welcome. And may we suggest checking out our back catalog of nearly 200 episodes

with just as many books. I'm Kalanerskin. I'm a comic, a father, and feeling a little deceived

because Dave recommended this book, The Prophet, and it didn't

predict anything. All right, as usual, feel free to subscribe to the podcast so you don't have to

manually download it every week. And if you love it, or if you don't, feel free to give us five stars.

Yeah, you can give the stars ironically if you don't love us.

Right.

That'd be such a joke on us.

Our latest five star comes from Displease Reviewer 2.

It threw me off too.

It says, truly one of the greatest.

Every joke is clever and funny, and Dave and Kellyn have great chemistry and are funny in their own way.

The books are great, too, and give meaningful story advice for writing.

Was a great read while I told my kid sister about JFK.
