Big Book Club's "What the Whale!"

Our Mission: To read really big books, talk about them online, and cheer each other on when necessary.

Each week librarians Jennie, Megan, Pete and Alex ask and answer questions that come up during our online Sunday night discussion, drop pop-culture references, talk to guest experts, and more.

Previous books: War and Peace (summer 2018); Middlemarch (winter 2019)

The Big Book Club is a production of the Arlington Public Library, Arlington Virginia

Week 9 of the Big Book Club: Oh Boy, Tolstoy!

Aug 2, 2018

A note about the sound - We had to record in a different room this week, which resulted in some funny acoustics and weird occasional noises. And Alex is getting over a cold, so there is occasional coughing...

This week's references include:

J-Lo's green Grammy dress

Brief histories of Russian Ballet and Russian Opera from wikipedia

Smokey and the Bandit (it's not really Smokey and the Bandit)

Palate cleansers -
