Welcome to Season 5 Episode 13 of That Pretentious Book Club!
 
In this episode Spoons and Wheezy come to you (recorded) live from "Girl World" to discuss classic young adult novel The Outsiders, by master-of-her-craft S. E. Hinton. This coming-of-age novel has more than earned its spot in middle and high school reading curriculums, and may just be begging to take up residence on your TBR list this year. 

With what we are going to call "thought-provoking interruptions" from Wheezy's tiny dragonslayer (assuming those thoughts are about the importance of hiring babysitters), Ash and Kendall find plenty to talk, laugh, and cry about in this discussion of one of the best pieces of classic literature your high school syllabus has to offer.

Skippers jump to 19:00

Pour yourself a cup of chocolate milk, raise a pinky, and join the club for this discussion of The Outsiders!
