Episode notes

Is this a tough book to read in terms of the prose style? I mean, only in the sense that I was sort of fighting, nodding off for big parts of there. Every once in a while you do get a sense that this is a period piece that's being written about.

The Scarlet Letter is often included as part of a high school reading curriculum because it's good at teaching people about symbolism, and it's good at teaching people about symbolism because it uses a half-dozen symbols roughly 700 times apiece.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
