Gain Of Fiction Reading List
Full archive of Gain of Fiction episodes found here!
We’re really glad you guys seem to be enjoying the Gain of Fiction series on our premium episode feed (If you’re not subscribed, then I don’t know, man…), but some people have brought to our attention the idea that it would be helpful if we released the reading list for the year so it can be a bit more like the parasocial book club that we want it to be. But Before we drop the list, it should be understood that the order in which these episodes are recorded or released is subject to change. Also, there could be some surprise additions to the series that come about as we move further into the year. For now, here’s the reading list for Gain Of Fiction:
Inherent Vice (Thomas Pynchon)
The Killer Inside Me (Jim Thompson)
All The Pretty Horses (Cormac McCarthy)
The Day of The Jackal (Frederick Forsyth)
East of Eden (John Steinbeck)
Battlefield Earth (L. Ron Hubbard)
Again, these are all subject to change and we’ll do our best to inform you of any changes in a timely manner. Also, all additions to the series will be first released on this post. Make sure to listen to the latest installment of Gain of Fiction, The Big Sleep (Raymond Chandler)

Been meaning to read Dostoyevsky, and haven’t gotten to it. Looking forward to it, and I may try to get to some soon. I had read A Clockwork Orange like 2 years ago and really liked the book. Same author has another one about homosexuals taking over the police that I have to read lol
Just finished Spring Snow, and I really like Mishima- know you guys like Zach and Jacks stuff- thought it was a good read on living for passion and fleeting beauty. Want to read confessions of a mask next (was struck by the picture of him recreating the agony of saint sebastian). Also finished Franny and Zoey by Salinger- my wife showed it to me- short and sweet little novella radiating christ like love. Reading Hadji Murat (tolstoy) right now on a friend’s recommendation and I’m really impressed! It’s also only like 100 pages, so if you have a gap!
Hope to line up some of these titles with my own schedule! Happy reading fellas!
