This week we discuss Infected by Scott Sigler, speak with Jim Phillips of the short story podcast Nil Desperandum and try to answer the question "Why do men read in the bathroom?" 

We are joined this week by special guest Charles McFall, the host of the Bear Crawling iTunes podcast who brings us a book pick.

Chris this week has given up his BiblioBurro (the donkey that carries his books) and joined the world of tablet reading.  

Did you know there is an actual BiblioBurro in Columbia?  He's the man featured on our album art this week.  A teacher carries hundreds of books per day to the children of his village using a donkey.  You can see him in this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsHyN9zj8_o
