79. Emma, Part 1
Two dudes talk about Jane Austen. Get over it. Cooper and Tanner give an enchanting prelude to Emma, giving baggage and discussing the novel broadly. They also have a very "sincere" and passionate conversation over whether Pride and Prejudice or Emma is better. Good stuff today, and we'll be back next week with an invigorating, brisk, deep-dive episode on the book that everyone should read. Even manly dudes. Because "reading Jane Austen is a very masculine art." - CooperSUPPORT US HERE:https://patreon.com/bookinitTEXT US HERE!
