It's pretty good.

The only sad part about this podcast is that I wish I could chat with these insightful, charming people about books. :)

I cannot recommend this podcast enough whether you're familiar with the other podcasts on the Idle Thumbs network or not. I have discovered so many great books I normally wouldn't have because of this podcast and the hosts of the podcast do a great job breaking down what they liked or didn't like in the books covered each month.

Chris and Sarah are a very nice couple who like books. Listening to them respectively discuss their thoughts about a piece of literature is delightful. Having read the book helps, but they're still very pleasant podcast hosts regardless.

This is easily my favorite book podcast, I really hope they keep it up. They Should pick The Magus by John Fowles as the next book once they finally do the fabled Wolf Hall episode.

I always had problems finding interesting books to read and this podcast has really gotten me back into reading with selections I probably wouldn't have learned about otherwise. I feel like it's enriched my life and brought me back into reading as an experience rather than just a utility.

I discovered this in October and started listening cause I had already read their first two books and loved both of them. The discussions are really interesting, but probably the real reason I love this podcast is because the hosts' tastes in books are so similar to mine. I had already read 5 of these books and really liked them, and was planning to read another of them. I liked this podcast so much that I've started listening to their idle thumbs podcast too, even though I'm not really much of a gamer. I also got my brother hooked on it - who is a gamer.

A spin-off of the brilliant Idle Thumbs video games podcast, that instead features a thoughtful conversation about a particular book each month. I've enjoyed both of the first two episodes and am looking forward to the third.

Anyone familiar with original-flavor Idle Thumbs knows that it's the most feelgood product substance in the videogames podcast brandspace. Well, now you can consume that same delicious, technically nourishing earfood in dead tree medium edition! In all earnestness, this crew has long been secretly famous for their thoughtfulness as video game developers and critics, and for the goofy wit of their long running (then stopping, then running, etc.) podcast. They're equally intelligent and entertaining when discussing books. Give them a listen.
