It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis made a sudden and dramatic climb on bestseller lists in late fall 2016. Parts of the novel bear some uncanny similarities to the 2016 election –– Donald Trump in...

Instagram post 1688139228591267235_1970084570 Another for the 2018 reading list. The panel has long since had this book on the docket for a podcast. Perhaps in 2018, we may make it happen. #samuelbeckett #beckett #murphy #bookstagram #bookshelf #futureepisode #podcast #literarypodcast #irishwriter
Instagram post 1687479779648131677_1970084570 Sometimes before moving forward, it is always good to take a look back. One panelist is revisiting books not read since college. #beowulf #seamusheaney #translation #verse #bookstagram #bookshelf #bookstoread
Instagram post 1684553744954696107_1970084570 It’s cold, dreary, and some parts of the country, snowy. So why not improve your mood with a thick Russian tome? #leotolstoy #tolstoy #russianliterature #literature #tome #bookstagram #winterreading #itsfuckingcold
Instagram post 1682969086882448631_1970084570 All of us from Infinite Gestation wish everyone a Happy New Year. Hopefully it will be better than 2017. One panelist received a good present which is a new office. Yay work space. #office #bookstagram #bookshelf #typewriter #desk #workspace #writingspace
Instagram post 1676576880319610324_1970084570 What can accompany a good book? Your sinuses saying “fuck you” right before the holidays. Oh well, at least the book is good. #kurtvonnegut #palmsunday #essays #collection #sinusinfection #hallscoughdrops #bookstagram
Instagram post 1675101595292397528_1970084570 Have you read any Hitchens this year? #hitchens #christopherhitchens #letterstoayoungcontrarian #contrarian #essays #bookstagram #oneofthebest
Instagram post 1673722817072778727_1970084570 It is a satisfying feeling to complete a collection. Another panelist is the proud owner The Danzig Trilogy, all of which are a #firstedition . #guntergrass #thetindrum #catandmouse #dogyears #bookshelf #bookstagram #proudowner
Instagram post 1672259486172551251_1970084570 It’s been a moment since we’ve done a Vonnegut post. Thanks to a gift from @writersnamedsamuelarecool , @wait.wait.ohyeahgkarazsia has another Vonnegut #firstedition to add to the collection. #kurtvonnegut #mothernight #palmsunday #slapstick #jailbird #deadeyedick #galapagos #bluebeard #hocuspocus #timequake #bagombosnuffbox #armageddoninretrospect #ifthisisntnicewhatis #bookstagram #bookshelfgoals #toomanyhashtags
Instagram post 1671443929420373409_1970084570 Not a bad way to spend a Saturday I think. If you find yourself in West Lafayette, Ind. check out Vons shop (the basement is where all the used books are, and this photo was one of many aisles). #bookhaul #bookstagram #shoplocal #usedbooks #christmasshopping #independentbookstore #staurdayfunday
Instagram post 1669298104107846554_1970084570 It must be noted this post would not be possible if not for @writersnamedsamuelarecool . “Collusion” is one of those of rare books that may seem unbelievable, but the argument and the facts weaved together by the author give you no other choice but to believe. This is one book you should not ignore. Much like Sam, I thought there was little this book could say that I already didn’t know. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only is it well researched, but Harding’s narrative style is probably one of the strongest I’ve read in quite some time. I couldn’t recommend “Collusion” enough. Also, I look forward to starting “The Snowden Files” soon. -Grant #collusion #lukeharding #thesnowdenfiles #trumprussia #journalism #journalismdoneright #bookstagram #currentaffairs
Instagram post 1667930693073444053_1970084570 “It was his own soul going forth to experience, unfolding itself sin by sin...." By the way, I love my @penguinbooks Drop Caps edition. #jamesjoyce #portraitoftheartistasayoungman #classic #literature #bookstagram #coverart #oneofthebest
Instagram post 1664906580746593778_1970084570 It’s heartbreaking, yet a rapturous piece of literature. If you haven’t read anything by Imre Kertesz, you should check him out. #imrekertesz #fiasco #nobelprizewinner #nobel #melvillehouse #bookstagram #booksworthreading #bookstorevisit #bookshelf
Instagram post 1664312314584419622_1970084570 After reading “A Visit from the Goon Squad,” one panelist is eager to check out Jennifer Evan’s latest novel “Manhattan Beach.” The panel had a high opinion of her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. #jenniferegan #manhattanbeach #avisitfromthegoonsquad #pultizer #pulitzerprize #newbook #bookstagram #lookforwardtoreading
Instagram post 1663477221292871969_1970084570 Need some heavy times to read during the winter months? The three volume biography of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris is comprehensive to say the least, also the first book, “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt” won the Pulitzer Prize. #history #theodoreroosevelt #teddy #pulitzer #bookstagram #edmundmorris #theodorerex #colonelroosevelt #biography #winterreading
Instagram post 1662782644500231332_1970084570 Just in, one panelist just bought a #firstedition of the second Dirk Gently book. This copy will look great next to his first edition of “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.” “It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression, 'As pretty as an airport.’” #dirkgently #thelongdarkteatimeofthesoul #bookhaul #booksandtea #bookstagram #douglasadams #scifi #humor #bookworm
Instagram post 1661905668616835105_1970084570 For #scifisunday this time the book is more modern. It takes a quite a book to win both the Hugo and Nebula awards, but not all readers agree. What are your thoughts on Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Windup Girl”?

Instagram post 1661167422928823773_1970084570 At one point, one panelist owned everything by Albert Camus, but due to an open lending policy this is all that remains. Oh well, hopefully they read them at least. #albertcamus #absurdism #camus #algerian #themythofsisyphus #thefall #theplague #bookstagram
Instagram post 1659851186596817440_1970084570 After reading “Team of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin, one panelist decided to go a little deeper with his studies of Abraham Lincoln with these two selections....one being literary while the other is Lincoln in his own words. #abrahamlincoln #speeches #writings #libraryofamerica #gorevidal #lincoln #bookstagram #winterreading
Instagram post 1659252653921587309_1970084570 I’m so happy to be an owner of a signed copy of #thegoldenhouse by #salmanrushdie . Needless to say, this is one purchase I will not regret. #bookstagram #signed #signedcopy #rushdie #bookshelf #booklover #satisfiedcustomer
Instagram post 1658315870987658749_1970084570 Highlights from a recent #bookhaul from California. Besides enjoying the weather (40 degrees higher than in Indiana) it was great to check out all the book stores and libraries near Palm Springs. #isaacasimov #foundation #preludetofoundation #colmtoibin #norawebster #lyndonjohnson #robertcaro #solzhenitsyn #cancerward #apricotjam #arabiannights #democracyinamerica #alexisdetocqueville #bookstagram #manofsteel
