Listen "Episode 3: Dames, Damsels, Digging Up Fossils & Big Foot"
Episode Synopsis
If chick lit is a thing, then dude lit definitely is as well. Whether it's modern or historic, novels that are male-centric and feature non-stop action and adventure, violence, and the all-round tough guy are standard dude lit fare. Today Nick is going to introduce us to three books that easily qualify as dude lit, and we're going to visit the Old West twice, and the 1920s noir. There will be guns, horses, and dead bodies.
The Man In the Forest by Zane Grey
