Season 18 continues with "Hillbilly Elegy" by J.D. Vance! Did we learn something about traditional American values? Not really, but we did have a blast ripping on this wet nerd's memoir.

It's our season 17 finale!!!!
Huge thank you to our listener Hayden for recommending this lil hellscape to us!
Hayden said: "My manager just told me that in order to start my “roadmap” to a promotion we are going to start by reading a book on leadership." INTERESTING...
Will Hayden get the big promotion?
Will Jocko and Leif INDEED dive even deeper into the unchartered and complex waters of a concept first introduced in Extreme Ownership to get granular into the nuances that every successful leader must navigate??
Will the ladies of MBC die of boredom???
FIND OUT!

Our OG recommender Allesandra told us about Eleanor Oliphant so we knew we had to give it a read! The thing is.... Johnna, a host of this cast, ALSO told the other ladies about Eleanor Oliphant. Like 8 times. Actually she's been begging them to read it for years because it's one of her favorite reads! The MBC ladies are a HOUSE DIVIDED between love, and hate, and more hate this episode!

We're BAAAACCCCCKKK! And this week we read NYT 2023 bestseller Happy Place by Emily Henry. A bunch of words so generic we kept forgetting what we were supposed to be reading. Thanks to Emily Fidago (listener, friend of the pod) for suggesting it, saying "this is the perfect Mean Book Club book because it is absolutely intolerable... my fury propelled me to the end of the book." That's good enough for us!

Special Bonus Episode! We uncovered the lost, original recording of our first episode: Malice by Danielle Steel. The quality isn't what you've come to expect, after 17 seasons, but the meanness is still there. There's a raw edge and anger to our younger selves. There's also more alcohol.
As you await our Season 17 Book List, please enjoy the special (unedited) episode found deep within our podcast vault.

Fan Alessandra Rosso needed us to confirm whether this NYT bestseller was actually trash because the main character “could have been replaced by a potted plant and I am not sure it would have changed the story.” And it’s a short book? About BROOKLYN (where we all live/have lived)?? Consider it read.

Thank you to our Icelandic listener Jessic Lyn Webb who told us that this NYT bestseller was “truly the most heinous misjustice to storytelling I have every had the pain of reading,” and included lots of borderline harmful takes on mental illness. And for some reason, that sold us. Heaven knows why. This one was painful.

TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea. An "enchanting story, masterfully told" or "a book that tries so hard to be quirky and twee it makes me want to throw it into the Atlantic Ocean." YOU DECIDE! We decide, also, on:

A VERY SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE: We read Murder on Sex Island by Jo Firestone, suggested to us by friend of the pod and talented comedian Jo Firestone! It’s not YET a bestseller, but we jumped at the chance to cross-examine the author and dig down deep on why they made the weird choices they made. Fake teeth? A blonde wig? Is Sex Island just Love Island??? We had to know more.
This book comes out TODAY (October 17) and you can buy it here: https://a.co/d/i7unYOs - Jo self-published so YES you can listen to her podcast version of the book for free but YES you should still buy the book!

THE sex manual of 1969 (yeah baby) is also one of the all time best selling books EVER in America. Yeah, if you were breathing in 1969, odds are: YOU READ THIS BOOK. But is it a radical, liberal education on "fun sex" or a truly disturbing attack on women, aging, and homosexuality that you cannot even FIND in libraries today?
We have award-winning podcast host and best-selling author DAN SAVAGE (instagram.com/dansavage/?hl=en) on the cast to help us find out. Spoiler: We find out VERY quickly. Kind of like, page two...
