| 19: Lonesome Dove - Lynne & Leslie of Fine Beats & Cheeses | 09 juil. 2025 | 01:54:08 | |
When I was a little kid, my dad's favorite song was Roy Rogers & Dale Evans's "Happy Trails." Here are the first few verses: Happy trails to you, until we meet again Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then Who cares about the clouds when we're together? Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again Some trails are happy ones Others are blue It's the way you ride the trail that counts Here's a happy one for you. So, I suppose it's fitting that FBOL ends (for now? maybe?) while talking about one of America's great Westerns, Larry McMurtry's LONESOME DOVE. Everything is in this book, partially because it's over 900 pages long, and partially because so much of America stopped progressing in the 1870s. This book is everything, and it is wonderful. I decided not to cut it down into two episodes, but I understand that two hours of book talk is a lot. I hope you all get as much out of it as I did recording it with Lynne & Leslie. Please follow them over at their show Fine Beats & Cheeses: http://finebeatsandcheeses.com They also have a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/FineBeatsandCheeses/posts And if you want to keep in touch with ME, I am still podcasting over at Ticklish Business, where we have a lot in store for the rest of this year! https://www.patreon.com/c/TicklishBiz/home More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

| Throwback: Jaws- Amanda Smith | 20 juin 2025 | 01:04:12 | |
If you're familiar with the movie, it means you probably know NOTHING about the book. JAWS by Peter Benchley is an absolute classic, a multi-million dollar earning blockbuster book turned movie that just about MADE Steven Spielberg. But what's up with the novel? Just some of your classic summertime, monster-movie beach read type stuff like mafia-led real estate fraud, class politics, and dead sheep. Follow our guest Amanda Smith online!

The incomparable Martha Smith (@MostlyMartha on Bluesky) is here to discuss Sarah Vowell's "creative nonfiction" juggernaut ASSASSINATION VACATION.

| 13: Laura - Kristen Lopez of Ticklish Business | 28 mai 2025 | 00:26:57 | |
Vera Caspary's LAURA was translated to screen for the first time in the heyday of the Hayes Code and classic film. So how does one capture the essence of a novel about a career girl coveted by three very different men, only to meet her grisly fate at the hand of one of her jealous suitors? By hiring Vincent Price, of course! Kristen is the main host of the podcast Ticklish Business ( http://ticklishbusiness.podbean.com ) , which I joined as a co-host a short time ago.

My friend Chael (@NarratorChael) is back to discuss one of her favorite books from her tweenage years: Michael Ende's THE NEVERENDING STORY. Written by a man whose artist father was literally persecuted for being degenerate by the Nazis, THE NEVERENDING STORY is a beautiful consideration on depression and passion and what it means to be a child in a world that really seems to hate children.

I'm joined by Peter Huycke (https://bsky.app/profile/p1huycke.bsky.social) to discuss Jack London's CALL OF THE WILD, dog socialism, and the American need to be the lead dog.

Hi, everyone! Unfortunately, circumstances are way outside my control and this is the last episode of FBOL. I want to thank you all endlessly for being such an amazing community and audience.

| 15: It's A Wonderful Life - David from Thank You Five/Friends Of The Countess | 13 déc. 2023 | 01:14:37 | |
I had no idea until about two weeks ago that the classic 1946 Christmas movie, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE was based on a self-published short story called "The Greatest Gift." And not until last week did I, you know, read it in order to prep for this episode. You can read it here, if you want: https://www.tor.com/2008/12/25/the-greatest-gift/ That being said, most of the beats you know from the movie are there: the bridge, the angel, the regret, the rejoicing. It has a lot going on in a few thousand words. David and I get into it, and America, and PTSD, and small towns, and Marlo Thomas. You can find David online here: https://linktr.ee/carriagereturn And you can join me in Portugal next May by clicking here: https://www.trovatrip.com/trip/europe/portugal/portugal-with-emily-edwards-may-2024 Because what I say in the episode is true: I don't want to be the George Bailey of my friend group. And unfortunately, I haven't run into any angels lately, so I guess what Annie Lennox says is true: Sisters are doin' it for themselves. More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J. Edwards!

| 8: PRIDE 2023:: The Talented Mr. Ripley - Danny Bowes [Rerun] | 16 juin 2023 | 01:02:37 | |
Link to a review of a biography of Patricia Highsmith: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/highsmith-was-a-troll-on-richard-bradfords-devils-lusts-and-strange-desires/ For Pride 2023, we're re-posting some of our favorite episodes about Queer books. As it turns out, Patricia Highsmith was another one of those common birds, a midcentury writer of the antisemite variety, whose advanced-level bigotries really don’t come come up in the same breath as the praises heaped upon her, and they should. She was shitty. But THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY is a fantastic novel, colored by Highsmith's own hatreds, and her ultimate goals. Follow our guest Danny Bowes on Twitter @ByBowes SUMMARY Tom Ripley is hounded by a rich Richard Greenleaf Sr. to go to Italy and retrieve his son, Dickie Greenleaf, and bring him back to America for his mother's impending death. Once Tom finds Dickie, he murders the heir and takes on his identity, while avoiding capture in post-WWII Italy. More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J. Edwards!
