Sequels are everywhere. We can't escape them, and with each passing day we're given a new TV sequel, another movie in a series or extended universe, or even a book that revisits a world published long ago. No book was a bigger sequel this year than Margaret Atwood's, The Testaments. Avid book reader and overworked Grad student Emma Calabrese stops by Furthermore to lend me her Handmaid's Tale expertise. We talk good books Emma's read this year, what qualifies as Science Fiction, and how much the 2017 Hulu show affected this year's Booker Prize Winner. How many more sequels do we need? Did Emma and I delve in or shelve? Many thanks to Emma for joining me on Furthermore and thank you for listening! Remember to find us on Instagram, @furthermorepodcast and go check out Furthermore artist Max Farinato at maxfarinato.com. Let me know on Instagram if you delved in or shelved The Testaments! Is it worth returning to Gilead? Keep Reading!

On the last day of 2019, Kiley Reid's debut novel, Such a Fun Age was released to the world. Though it racked up pretty good sales in January, buzz in the literary world propelled it to be our best seller come February. I chat with Music Therapist Jasmine Edwards about this all too timely novel, the tough work she's been doing in hospitals during the pandemic, and the most important question; did we delve, or shelve it?

Season 2 continues with January 2020’s bestseller, Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson. After the holiday rush it’s always interesting to see what book emerges as the front runner in the new year. NYU classmate Ethan Loewi and I dive into this darkly funny book about combustible children. Reviews were mixed on this one. Some people loved it, others put it down halfway through. Did Ethan and I delve in, or did we shelve it? Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore! What book did you begin your year with? Please stay safe and healthy out there.

Furthermore Season 2 kicks off with an episode devoted to reading in Quarantine. I'm joined by (possibly) Furthermore's biggest fan and longtime friend, Mike Barefield, to discuss a book Mike never finished: Catch-22. One of my favorites, Mike and I talk a few other books he's got kicking around on his shelf, what our quarantines have been like in different states, and Joseph Heller's best known work. Did Mike delve in, or shelve it? (What difference does that make!?) Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore! What book did you pick up but never finish? Please stay safe and healthy out there.

Last August, before the world turned upside down, Andrea and I read Celeste Ng's 2019 bestseller Little Fires Everywhere. While I decided to put the book down after 50 pages, Andrea continued on. We decided to reconvene when Reese Witherspoon's highly anticipated Hulu adaptation arrived. In this episode of Furthermore, we watch the first episode of the show and put it up against those 50 pages we read last year. Which would we rather delve into? Did the Hello Sunshine production company bring a bestseller to life? Thanks for listening to this episode of Furthermore! What did you think of the show? Did you make it past episode 1?

Episode 21- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 1:27:20

When the country went on lockdown and I found myself without access to my store's bestsellers, I looked for other ways to keep things interesting here at Furthermore. Dabbling in TV and... whatever 50 Shades of Grey was, I decided it was time to go back to something more comforting. Something nostalgic. A part of shared childhoods across the world. Then, as so many things are so likely to do nowadays, this episode got harder. The intention was to start a Harry Potter retrospective, where myself and 7 other guests read the first 50 pages of each book in the series, decide if we would shelve it or delve in, and find a small piece of a book series that meant so much to us. J.K. Rowling then went ahead and made some transphobic comments, something she's done before. Jess, a previous guest on this episode and all around insightful and kind human being, reached out me. We decided to have a conversation about how damaging Ms. Rowling's comments are. It's nothing new from her but still disappointing. Trans people across the world deserve to be recognized for who they are. Harry Potter is bigger than all of us. I still believe that reliving the first 50 pages of these books Furthermore style can bring some joy into what has become a confusing and frustrating year in so many ways. Please enjoy the first in our Harry Potter retrospective! Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore. Find us on instagram at @Furthermorepodcast. What Hogwarts house are you??

It's the second Episode of Furthermore Firsts! Today I'm examining the infamous first episode of Parks and Rec, Amy Poehler's hilarious sitcom that ran for 7 seasons. It's a show that was often recommended to me with the caveat that I could skip the first season. Why? Was it really that bad? Does that mean the first episode is worth skipping altogether as well? Furthermore Firsts takes a look at the very first episode of Park and Rec. Thanks for listening to Furthermore! Don't forget to check out our Instagram page, @Furthermorepodcast. Keep Reading!…

In the inaugural episode of Furthermore Firsts, I take a look at the pilot episode of sitcoms or other old TV shows worth checking out. Family Guy kicks us off, as a solo Andy goes back to when he was a teenager to look at Seth MacFarlane's still running cartoon sitcom. I aim to answer three questions about the show's first episode: 1. How does the pilot represent the rest of the series? 2.Is it a good episode? 3. Based on this first episode, would I delve in or shelve it? A nostalgic trip leads me to see what about Family Guy changed over the years; why am I so much less enamored with it now than I used to be? Was it always nothing more than a cutaway clip show? Would I rewatch? Thanks for listening to Furthermore! Don't forget to check out our Instagram page, @Furthermorepodcast. Keep Reading!…

Could this surprise us? Andrea and I discuss how much of this book's popularity came down to intrigue and how much was the book's worth. We hope you will join us on this journey through the deep dark world of inexplicable books. Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore! Let us know- did you read this when it was popular?

Furthermore is back from our little hiatus! With a new baby girl at Furthermore HQ, we're back with December's bestseller, Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo. The joint winner of this year's Booker Prize, an award it shared with Episode 09's book, The Testaments, this novel took off at the end of the year and became a high seller at the store. As strange as it feels in the midst of social distancing and the scary world we now share with Covid-19, it's good to be back. What did my guest, former coworker and still Writer/Bookseller Zarina, and I think of Evaristo's bestseller? Did her fast paced, London smart prose catch us? Did we delve in, or shelve it? Thanks so much for listening to Furthermore! There's so much more to come. Please stay safe and healthy out there.

What lies in store for us in this pink and gold etched, girl-in-her-pajamas- covered novel?

I’m joined by Hanna McKean, author of the blog Food and a Film to get our nerves shattered by Stephen King’s It . Hanna and I read the first 50 pages of the book and watch the first half hour of the 2017 film staring Bill Skarsgård to decide which is worth the delve and which is headed back to the shelf. Which Pennywise did we like more? Will we ever go near a storm drain again? What are our Halloween favorites to get us into the Fall spirit? Thank you for listening to Furthermore!

It may seem strange for Little Fires Everywhere , something that's been out for so long, to end up as August's best seller, but slow summer months and a lull before an enormous new release fall means Celeste Ng's second novel ended up as our next episode! It came down to a vote to break a tie with My Year of Rest and Relaxation , but with book in hand, my good friend from NYU, Andrea, joins me to find out what's up with this New York Times bestseller. The book is the story of the Richardson family, who find their house burned down one morning by a series of small fires set off inside; worst of all, they're certain it was the youngest sibling who did it. Andrea and I set off for Shaker Heights, Cleveland to join the Richardsons as they navigate not only their own family drama, but the town's as well. Did we delve in or shelve it? Will a new food fact become a regular part of Furthermore? And with a Hulu series set to premiere next year, do Andrea and I hop on the hype train, or was Little Fires Everywhere just too far from my usual read?…

Sometimes fact really is stranger than fiction. Does that mean that fact is up for grabs when a writer needs a good story? I'm joined by an old fellow manager from the store, my friend Sarah High, to discuss July's bestseller, The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. This is Sarah's first read by the Pulitzer Prize winner author; did she like it? Can we pinpoint Colson's style? How did he adapt the true story of the horrors of a reform school in Florida into a novel?. Why did he wait nearly 50 pages to get our main character to Nickel Academy? Check it out and see Sarah and I delved in or shelved Colson Whitehead's newest hit, where discuss growing up in the South vs the North, what it feels like to discover a new author and ask ourselves; is the worst of real life worth making into a piece of fiction?…

We'll discuss the Vietnam War, shared books we love, monkey brains, and ask ourselves; how far out of your comfort zone should you go?

My friend and former NYU classmate Spencer Gaffney helps me break down May's best seller, Sally Rooney's literary sensation Normal People, about the relationship between odd but fascinating Marianne and rich, popular Connell as it grows from high school romance to university tryst. Hailed as "The Millennial Writer," Sally Rooney has seen a rapid rise to fame, sometimes to her dismay. Spencer and I discuss the Irish Economy, what it means to be the author who defines a generation, and what the words "grinds," "binned," and "rounders" mean. Is Normal People worth the hype, the fame, the countless famous recommendations? Is Sally Rooney "Salinger for the Snapchat generation"? Does my west Irish accent carry too many notes of Dublin?…

The book sold very well at the store and continues to; I can't keep it in stock. Katie and I get to the bottom of the power of Reese, Delia Owen's African Zoology career, and dig deep into the first 50 pages of the book. Do we agree with Reese? What kind of beginnings does Kya have? Did I do a good enough job of resisting speaking in a southern accent all podcast long?…
