1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Do you like big Italian dramas?&amp;nbsp; Do you enjoy Machiavelian style politics?&amp;nbsp; How do you about the occasional eye gouging?&amp;nbsp; Do you have any thoughts on vague, subtley applied mystical themes?&amp;nbsp; How about generally forbidden love?&amp;nbsp; What's that?&amp;nbsp; You like all of it, you sick twisted puppy?&amp;nbsp; Then we have the book for you! On this episode, we explore the deeply nuanced grimdark epic of &quot;Navola&quot; by Paolo Bacigalupi.&amp;nbsp; Really, this one is rich and complex. So much so that we need an equally rich and complex bourbon to pair with it.&amp;nbsp; For this book, we picked Emerald Giant Rye from Redwood Empire as the perfect bottle to go with this story. &amp;nbsp; Windupstories.com - Fiction by Paolo Bacigalupi EMERALD GIANT - Craft Rye Whiskey - Redwood Empire Whiskey Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast http://beardsbooksbourbon.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/38380340/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/193531800
