FINGERSMITH by Sarah Waters & A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES by John Kennedy Toole.

This week, Toby takes a twisty ride with queer Victorian tricksters in Sarah Waters' astounding FINGERSMITH. Then, Bailey travels to the Big Easy with Ignatius J. Reilly, a bombastic character she won't soon forget. Plus, the hosts test how many times they can say "jambalaya" in one episode. Answer: more than necessary!
