Perhaps there should be an FBOL reboot called ASSIGNED READING where someone picks up a book they haven't read in 20+ years and realizes they were just a snot-nosed jerk when they read it for the first time
BRIDGE TO TEREBITHIA is a different book when you're 38

we did Thoreau in season one of FBOL and maybe it’s time for a re-do

the main reason i did not ever cover WUTHERING HEIGHTS on FBOL is because I simply cannot spend time or brain cells tango-ing with the people who think it is a love story, romantic, or in any way hashtag goals.
Wuthering Heights isn’t a love story — it’s a novel about violence
I cannot believe anyone that has read this novel would ever describe it as a love story or romantic even. It’s Gothic, dark cruel, yes passionate and poetic but really about dark obsession.

Emily Brontë’s novel is often described a great romance. But what really powers it is rage, alcohol and fear

There are a couple of writers I'm sad I never got to really cover on FBoL and they are: Victor Hugo, Balzac, and George Sand.
oh, buds, let me teach you about Victor Hugo

FBOL is ending this week with @lesliegraystreeter.bsky.social & her sister Lynne discussing all 900 pages of Larry McMurtry's LONESOME DOVE. Everything is in this book, partially because it's over 900 pages, and partially because America stopped evolving in the 1870s:

we talked about this on our FBOL episode on MRS DOUBTFIRE and how pierce brosnan was held up as THE HOTTEST MAN ALIVE in the 90s and he was just like... a guy who jogs, eats well, and could play a game of pickup tennis
the hollywood standard for men going from like “modestly fit [well known actor in his late thirties]” to “a body fat percentage that puts you on the verge of death” is probably bad and underpins a lot of rw subcultures i think

YouTube age restricted many of my best FBOL episodes so people in high school *can’t* listen to a podcast about how to relate, and evolve in your relationship to, to complex literature.

I'm trying to do Summer Reads for FBOL but I really want someone to do DEATH IN VENICE and DAISY MILLER amongst, like, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC

my FBOL ep next week with @ghostingdani.bsky.social is on THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and how it’s a Victorian manners guide so
“Representation matters, she tells us, and, if we can rewrite our limiting storytelling models, we can remake the world. Yes, representation matters, but culture alone can’t do the work of politics, and neither can cultural critique.” A really thoughtful review of Sophie Gilbert’s Girl On Girl here:
What Did the Pop Culture of the Two-Thousands Do to Millennial Women?
“Girl on Girl,” by the critic Sophie Gilbert, is the latest and most ambitious in a series of consciousness-raising-style reappraisals of the decade’s formative texts.
