The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen is a heart warming story about a loving family celebrating the holidays.

Correction: In the previous paragraph we mis-identified The Corrections as being heart warming, when it is actually the gut-wrenching recitation of several horrible people bickering for hundreds of pages. We regret the error.

Thanks to Randianne and Ryan for sponsoring this episode, and for correctly identifying that it's a painful book. We agree.
