Louise | 4 comments Was Sense of an Ending or the bookclub mentioned in a podcast? I remember something about a book podcast in the Conf Grenade where everyone was talking about Grim Fandango, but I don't think a book was picked yet.

How did everyone know to read this Sense of an Ending? And how are the books picked (for future reference) ?

Is there an Idle Thumbs Book Podcast I'm missing out on?

We announced the book club podcast in our Kickstarter video:
http://kickstarter.com/projects/idlet...
We've mentioned the first book in a few places, including our forums, but since our website is basically placeholder right now we don't have a good way to clearly get information out there.

We don't really have a formal process for picking books at this point. This one was chosen because I reviewed it on my Tumblr ( http://chrisremo.tumblr.com/post/1724... ) which prompted Sean and Nick to each read it, and Jake to plan to read it. So we figured it would make a good first selection. Since I essentially "chose" this one, I imagine the next one will be suggested by Jake or Sean. In the future maybe we'll let readers vote on a few choices as well.

Anders | 2 comments I have to ask, are you considering doing graphic novels as well? I've been reading Jimmy Corrigan and I know you, Chris, have mentioned reading Acme Novelty Library before. I mean, same goes for non-fiction, I suppose.
