Lit Society: Books and Drama

Have you ever had to cut someone out of your life? No phone calls, texts, and your friends know not to invite both of you to the same event? This week, our theme is inspired by Educated, a memoir by Tara Westover. Tara didn’t have a birth certificate until she was nine years old and she didn’t see her first classroom until the age of 17. It’s like The Village by M. Night Shyamalan, but interesting. . . Eventually, she’s forced to choose between a life without her family or most certain death by their hands. It got real, real quick. Travel with us from the peaks of Idaho to the halls of Cambridge in Educated. Welcome to Lit Society.

Comrades! In this episode, Alexis and Kari tackle the good and bad of a compliant society and decide hugs are always optional. This week’s theme was inspired by the most Orwellian book we’ve ever read, Animal Farm. It’s hard out here for a pig, ya’ll. In this classic allegorical story, the animals take over their farm only to learn domination is a downer, no matter who wears the pants. Welcome to Lit Society. Let’s get LIT!

Kari gets trapped in a Parisian hotel, Alexis ignores emergency alerts sent from the toilet, and A.J. Finn lies his way into a two-book/movie deal —  ALLEGEDLY, ALLEGEDLY! The theme of the week is Agoraphobia and How to Feel Safer in Public Spaces. We talk about feelings of anxiety in the age of terror and how all of us can take practical steps to be safe and sound wherever we go. We then dive deep into The Woman in the Window, A.J. Finn’s runaway bestseller. Like your ex, A. J. Finn, real name Daniel Mallory, has something to hide, and he’s burying his secrets in lies, fibs, and untruths — ALLEGEDLY! If only we knew the password to his cell phone. If. Only. Welcome to Lit Society. Let’s get LIT!

For our first official episode, we’re getting real about loneliness and depression. What battles have we personally had with both, and what do the experts recommend for coping? This theme is inspired by Where the Crawdads Sing, by Delia Owens. It’s the best-selling novel of 2019, and we’re going to break it all the way down before giving our final verdicts.
