It would seem that we are starting a schedule of sorts. Will it last? We hope so. Anyway, on this Aside we talk about our current featured article on Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice," the books we read over the winter holidays, and mostly importantly, introduce Shirley Jackson as our new featured author here at The Casual Academic. We are reading "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" for our 17th full-length episode, so if you haven't, go out and read it! Don't forget, you can find us on Facebook and Twitter, where we post articles and interviews pertinent to our discussions, as well as on Instagram where our favorite books, books to be read, and anything literary can be seen. Lastly, our website is always getting better, and now you can find all of our articles catalogued for your reading pleasure, and also all of our episodes and upcoming reads. You guys rock, and thank you for listening!
