lkernests Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) So... I may have missed it but... is the Idle Book Club defunct? On hiatus? If it was in the podcast's I've been avoiding the last few until I read the books. Edited January 26, 2014 by lkernests Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mondryle Posted January 27, 2014 Unfortunately, there hasn't been any talk here or on the podcasts about it coming back. I think it's fair to say everyone involved has had an extraordinarily busy year, and I imagine it demands more of everyone's time than other casts. I miss it, though. Each one definitely added to my enjoyment of each book, and nudged me towards good ones I may never have read otherwise. Thanks, guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted January 27, 2014 We're just terrible. We'd like to bring it back though! I think it'll be easier in the coming months, for various reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted January 27, 2014 Pick really easy books. Like Charlotte's Web. Everyone likes Charlotte's Web. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibs Posted January 27, 2014 Where's wally is pretty good. And it is collaborative. It will help the Campo Santo team spirit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted January 28, 2014 Where's Wally in audio format would be an interesting podcasting challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nappi Posted December 29, 2015 Sounds like Idle Book Club is finally coming back: https://twitter.com/idlebookclub/status/679404928150843392 Really looking forward to it! Have you selected the next book yet? Somehow I assume it is not Wolf Hall anymore*.. Also, again, if possible, please announce the books for the next two months in advance, because... you know... slow readers. * Edit: Missed Chris confirming this.

Argobot Posted December 29, 2015 We have picked the first book! It's Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff. We haven't recorded that episode yet -- expect it by the beginning of February -- but we did record a "zero episode" that reintroduces the podcast and we hopefully get people excited. I know I am excited to get Chris to read books with me again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mondryle Posted December 30, 2015 Great news. Looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mangela Lansbury Posted December 31, 2015 I have huge misgivings about Fates and Furies because it looks like it comes from the MFA school of flowery prose over everything else school of novel writing that seems to be SUPER in these days, but I ordered it anyways on faith because I am looking forward to this.

dibs Posted January 3, 2016 Sweet. Is it Fates and Furies I or Fates and Furies VII though? Or one of the inbetweens which aren't as good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregbrown Posted January 4, 2016 Fates and Furies Tactics is my all-time fave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
