Joel shares his reading experiences, including rereading 'East of Eden' and discussing the novel 'A Man in Full' set in Atlanta. Matt recommends 'How to Hide an Empire,' a history of U.S. territories, and mentions reading Tom Wolfe novels.
“So, oh, I just literally just started. I read a couple Tom Wolfe novels because my neighbor had recommended them. My neighbor is a voracious reader, my neighbor Matt. But I'm reading one about the history of America called How to Hide an Empire.”
“It's really, I mean, it's really interesting. It's kind of some of the formation, how the United States established territories, how they treated those territories. It's some of the history you don't really learn in school or you hear this much about. It's going into much greater depth.”
“The Jewel of the Rising New South. So interesting. So interesting.”
