It's an episode of WAKE to make Grim Grandma Grunt, as Toby and TJ return from a long reading break to finish up Book 3! With three special readers providing their dulcet tones, we discuss whether there is any actual use to academic summaries of the text, see Joyce's perspective on parenting, puzzle over more cricket innuendo than you could ever possibly need, and agree that without the Wake, there's no Star Wars. Join us for the thunderslog!

This week's readers: Toby Malone, TJ Young, Nikhil Krishnaswamy, Patrick Robinson, Bridie Malone

Progress: 590 pages complete, 38 pages to go; 93.95% read.
