Dead Authors for a Desert Island: Marlon and Jake are back-this time to discuss which dead author they'd take with them to a desert island to reread over and over again-as well as which ones they'd happily leave lost at sea. From the Jamaica of Wide Sargasso Sea to the lonely New England of Shirley Jackson, Marlon and Jake get fired up over the books they vehemently love and the ones they equally hate. Marlon explores his complicated love for James Clavell and the underappreciated wisdom of Pride & Prejudice's Charlotte Lucas, while Jake (unsuccessfully) attempts to convince Marlon that Agatha Christie is, in fact, not overrated. One thing they actually agree on? That would be their passionate disdain for Wuthering Heights-and it's not pretty-so Emily Bronte lovers, consider yourselves warned! Included Titles: - Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James - We Have Always Lived in by Marlon and Jake Read Dead People
