Eva’s comments from the Night Vale Summer Reading Program group.

"...will feature weekly discussions of popular and classic fiction, as well as Q&As with book experts about some of literature’s most famous controversies, like last week’s heated argument about whether or not Herman Melville really wrote all of the novels which bear his name, or just Fight Club."

"Just as they would never want a highly-researched nonfiction travel guide like Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series to end up in, say, Fiction ...librarians also know that they should never be seen or felt or heard outside of a library. "
~ The Librarian

"In 1988, two – two! copies of Pride and Prejudice were found in Night Vale. No one knows quite how many people read these copies, but the ensuing riots inconvenienced hundreds..."
~ ep. 54 A Carnival Comes to Town

"Lot 17 is a near-mint copy of Uncanny X-Men #3, 1964. It has slight foxing on the back cover, perfect registration of the color separations, off-white pages, rustless staples, high cover gloss, and no Marvel chipping, and it features the first appearance of The Blob – not the Blob who lives in the housing development out back of the elementary school, the fictional one."

Hello! I am Eva and thankfully not an actual Eternal Scout. I usually listen to WTNV while drawing. The quote I think about the most is "...and teeth like a military cemetery". My favorite weather forecast is "Ghost Story". I hope to one day go to a live show.

"I’m looking at one of the new subway brochures right now. There is no logo, just smiling faces, with teeth – unusual in their shapes, colors, and spacing, but otherwise quite normal-looking teeth – and the phrase, “Oh, the place you will go!” written in heavy sans serif font across the eyes of smiling train riders, clutching tightly to bags and metal rails and each other."

"It took most of an hour to corral the panicked beasts back into the vortex and resume the meeting– which had mostly been about recent lunchroom price hikes, and had devolved into name-calling because Susan Wilman called Diane Kreaton’s son, Josh, “a bit tubby,” and said that maybe he needs a financial incentive to eat a bit less. In this reporter’s opinion, Susan Wilman is dangerously obsessed with the New York Times bestselling Freakonomics books. Dangerously so."

Discuss the novel here. How well does the show translate into a book, where exactly does the book fall into the timeline, which continuity errors are bothering you, etc...

While the book was written so it could be read without any prior knowledge of the podcast, please beware of spoilers.

"If you are not a citizen of Night Vale, but cannot currently get out of town to your home because of the road closings, then congratulations! You now live in Night Vale!"
