Not a lot of book-related material to discuss this time, alas! We haven't recorded the next episode or anything -- though we are ready, willing, raring to do so -- so there aren't any insider details to divulge this time around. But! J. has only just now returned from L.A. Podfest, where he performed meetings, greeti...

Well, it finally happened. We finally did The Da Vinci Code.

Hi, all --
I (Clsn) finally made it to the post office today (the beautiful downtown one, in Oakland, instead of the smaller one by the lake I usually go to) and got everybody's August merch in the mail.

But we have to do something. We can't do nothing. So this month, all our proceeds are going to Eq...
