"It's not how you, what is it? It's not the way you are," he writes. "And then the book is really just his journey to the other version of that sentence." The author was Nicholas Peter John Hornby; we'll talk more about him later.

This week’s episode is our recent live show crossover event with Appointment Television at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. The Appointment Television and Overdue crews gather together to discuss the recent TV adaptation and compare it to the book from which it (and the film, and the ill-starred musical) sprung. Whether we figure out the relative superiority of books or TV as competing artistic formats is left up to the listener.
