Here's to Season 2. Watch us as we recount our favourite (and least favourite) episodes as well as future projects. Yes, we really are doing the "lazy recap" episode. Again...

Never say Papercut isn't progressive. This episode dives into May Alcott's semi-autobiographical novel about four sisters as they grow, live, love and laugh.

What book could have caused so much outrage that even Uncle Sam had to ban it? Find out on this edition of Papercut.

Dostoyevsky's final novel, The Brothers Karamazov follows 3 brothers and the rocky relationship they share with their father. Part murder mystery, part philosophical mouthpiece, the novel explores morality and religion through conversations between the brothers and the ultimate consequences of their beliefs.

What does it mean to be a gentleman? A Gentleman in Moscow explores the life of Count Rostov who is placed under house arrest during the Russian Revolution for being a lord at the wrong place at the wrong time. Part love letter to Russia, the novel shows the Count's life behind bars as Russia experiences its most tumultuous years. What now, Papercut?

Underwater fish, monsters, savages and Atlantis. What does Papercut have to say about 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?

A book about the American Civil War without a focus on slavery? That must be a joke right? Maybe not as we shall see in this episode of Papercut!

Set in an alternate history where Germany and Japan won the Second World War, The Man in The High Castle follows the lives of five people as they set about their lives in this New World Order. One character searches for the Man in the High Castle himself, who wrote a scathing novel about an impossible world - one where the allies had won WWII. How does Papercut deal with this?

Are human beings truly and fundamentally evil to the core? How do we explain the atrocities of the Holocaust? Or even studies into evil like the Stanford Prison experiment? What if our worldview on humanity is plain and simply wrong? Find out in this edition of Papercut.

We loved the first one so much we had to do it again. Dear listener, thank you again for your recommendation, we had a great time recording this. We hope you enjoy our take on this book.

One of the most influential works ever written, Don Quixote tells us the story of... well, Don Quixote, Knight of the Rueful Countenance, Lover of Dulcinea del Toboso and humble servant of damsels in distress. Don Quixote has gone on to influence writers like Dostoyevsky, manga writers from One Pience and video games like the Witcher. What say you, Papercut?

Go to any bookstore and you can't miss the orange sprawl telling you not to give a f**k. The book itself styles itself as an anti-self help book - stomping on old self-help tropes in favour of simpler alternatives. What does Papercut have to say about Mark Manson's bestseller?

We had to do it. We loved the OG man hunting fish so much we had to do the next best thing. The Old Man and the Sea narrates the tale of Santiago (aka The Old Man) who ventures out into the sea (aka The Sea) to catch a fish. No, we're serious. What do we have to say about this huh?

Nostalgia, youth and suicide. Poignantly written, Murakami tells the story of Toru Watanabe - as he reminisces through his university days, his best friend's suicide and the love of his life. Translated from the original Japanese, the simple tale is kept alive by an assortment of characters, ranging from eccentric to stoic to downright despicable. Murakami explores grief and existential dread but offers a neutral stance on both matters, citing growth as the best remedy. What say you, Papercut?

Should you stick to your ideas or go with the flow? Is it better to be a lone genius or an amiable loser? Ayn Rand explores these questions in her debut novel "The Fountainhead". Needless to say, the novel acts as a vehicle for her philosophy of objectivism (i.e., capitalism on steroids). What does Papercut have to say about this?

Written by another famous Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D'Urbervilles narrates the life of Tess as she searches for hope and meaning in the face of adversity and crushing societal expectations set on the women of her time. Who better to talk about these issues than two guys behind a mic? Find out more on this episode of Papercut!

Kids are bundles of joy, right? Not if your son is Kevin. The book tells the story of Eva recounting the events that led to the worst moments of her life. Through a series of letters to her husband, we learn more about her relationship with Kevin, her family and heritage, culminating in the answer to the question she's been asking herself - could you love the monster that is your son? Find out more on Papercut!

We had no idea Audrey Hepburn's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was based on a book until we heard about Truman Capote. Set in the the mid-20th century, the novel tells the story of Holly Golightly. But honestly, what on earth does it mean to have breakfast at Tiffany's? Find out on this episode of Papercut!.

Teenage romance novels are often angst filled, hormone driven drivel. And every now and again, some different comes along and tugs at all the right heartstrings without oozing cringe. With no flashing "Save the World" quest, The Perks of Being A Wallflower provides a simple tale of friendship and growing up told through our wallflower narrator - Charlie. So, are there any perks of standing on the sidelines and observing? Find out on this episode of Papercut!

We wanted to start Season 2 on a high note on what we thought was the best book for adventure. What can this tale teach us about struggle and perseverance? Find out on this episode on "The Count of Monte Cristo"

Pretty self explanatory. New episode out Sunday 3pm HKT! Look out for that
