An exclusive literary society of exactly two members. Chris Knight is a distinguished philanthropist, wealthy industrialist, and man of impeccable taste. Micheal Lylez is a world-renowned etymologist whose mastery of classical texts is matched only by his precise, if occasionally alarming, interpretations. Each episode they review a great book with serious scholarship, confident conclusions, the occasional confession, and the distinct possibility that certain heroes were, in fact, large cats. Named in honor of the Inklings, and held to roughly the same standards.Chris Knight Arte Storia e critica della letteratura

    Sep 21 2026

    Our book review and discussion of Walden by Henry David Thoreau. In 1845, Thoreau walked into the woods near Walden Pond, built a small cabin with his own hands, and lived there for two years, two months, and two days — and the book he wrote about it has been inspiring and irritating readers ever since.On this episode of The Winklings Book Club, Chris Knight and Micheal Lylez dig into Walden, or Life in the Woods: what Thoreau was really after, whether his experiment in simple living holds up, and what a book about slowing down has to say to a world that won't.
