About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss a variety of books they read in June after returning from a trip to South America.

  Welcome to Episode 69 (ooh-la-la). We're back from our big South American trip and we have read a very mixed bag of books this month, including more modern books than we normally cover (mostly so we could abandon them in various hostels). Books discussed include:  - Lady L. (Romain Gary, 1958) - Excalibur (Peter Gibbons, 2024) - Coda (Stephen Seidenberg, 2025) - The Girl In The Castle (James Patterson & Emily Raymond, 2022) - 22 Seconds (James Patterson & Maxine Paetro, 2022) - The Istanbul Puzzle (Laurence O'Bryan, 2012) - Steppenwolf (Hermann Hesse, 1927) - The Journal of Madame Giovanni (Alexandre Dumas, 1856 ) - The Wings Of A Dove (Christopher Taylor, 1963).  Check out  patreon.com/booksboys  for early access to our catalogue of shows, including the latest series of Playboys Extra and Darkplace Dreamers, plus Comedy Comrades and more.
