Summer Reading List 2016! Featuring 42 Comedy and Other Books

Every year we put out a list of 42 book recommendations to keep you busy by the pool, at the beach, on vacation, or wherever you plan to be all summer. Lori Satterlee and Larry Carlson are well known as frequent callers and contributors to the Bennington Show on SiriusXM, friends of ours, and they're also avid readers and impassioned booksellers.

Cast Reflects on Last Man on Earth Season Finale’s High Note, Sad Tone

Despite everyone’s insistence that cable is the place to find the best programming on TV, 31 episodes into its two year run, Last Man on Earth has proven network TV can still compete.
