The Midnight Library, by Matt Haig, and Glenmorangie 10yo, Part 2

Michael and Ethan continue their discussion of The Midnight Library, by Matt Haig, while drinking Glenmorangie 10.

In this episode:

  • Ethan leads with some very specific brags

  • Michael follows a rule

  • Unofficially taboo topics that are nebulous, endless, and very important

  • The word Ethan was looking for around 16:00 was “counterfactual”

  • So much table-setting, but for a purpose?

  • IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE IS AN ADAPTATION OF A CHRISTMAS CAROL, AND THIS PODCAST WILL DIE ON THAT HILL

  • Like this podcast, this book has a lot of rules

  • The word Ethan was looking for around 38:00 was probably “diagetic”

  • Eventually the plot is discussed… um, talked about… um, mentioned…

Next time Michael and Ethan will discuss The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson. Join the discussion! Go to the Contact page and put "Scotch Talk" in the Subject line. We'd love to hear from you! And submit your homework at the Michael & Ethan in a Room with Scotch page.
