Words About Books

Ben and Nate decide to take a look at a book they read 15 years ago to see if it still holds up. That was a mistake. In Part 1 of our two part discussion of A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore we examine the characters and tone of the book and ask ourselves an important question: Have we grown up?

This week we have another mystery! That we both solved almost immediately. We're not trying to do more mysteries it just happens to be that way. 5 students enter detention. 5 of them leave. Except one of them leaves TO A HOSPITAL! And then he leaves that hospital. IN A BODY BAG!

The Words About Books boys discuss the mystery of Simon The DeadGuy (I forgot his last name). Who could have killed him? Was it The Jock? The...

What? Read that title again. Yes this is Lacero. A fanfic that became canon. Why did it become canon? Listen to a few minutes of the podcast and it all becomes crystal clear. How was a 6 page short story stretched into a 47 minute podcast? Because we're goddamn professionals, that's how.

Especially Nate.

Ben and Nate discuss Thrawn by Timothy Zahn (Thrawn #1). It's been far too long since Ben and Nate checked in on their favorite Chiss Grand Admiral. This time we tackle the tale of Thrawn's rise to power within the Imperial Navy. Will Thrawn be able to gain power without compromising his morals? Will he be able to discover the true nature of The Emperor's secret project? (It's the Death Star. It's always Th...

This week Nate clones himself endlessly in an attempt to destroy Ben's will to exist. Also he discusses a book with a similar idea called We Are Legion We Are Bob. Will Nate win Ben over to reading this book and finding enjoyment in programmer humor? Or will he just use this as a shallow excuse to hurt Ben using literature as his weapon? Find out on the next exciting episode of WAB POD!

This episode contains explicit material. Servants of Fate is an Erotic Urban Fantasy set in a Dystopian Environmental Collapse Future with a magic system inspired loosely by Greek Mythology. If that sounds like a lot, it's because it is.

This week we are finally talking about something we liked! A Japanese manga which is SORT OF like a book. It's part wacky comedy, part spy drama, part wholesome family story. Highly recommended if you enjoy good stories and fun adventures.

Thank you to our Patrons for voting for today's episode! This is a book that sounds so incredible. A woman is in prison for a murder she didn't commit. Oh but she DID kill 6 people, all members of her rich father's family. Now she's writing her memoirs about those 6 killings while a mystery unfolds on what really happened to the person she didn't kill.

Or that's what I thought anyway. Instead ...

We're still talking about Caliban's War, and we still don't like it. On the plus side, with a part two episode this long we know that no one else is listening. Now we can get into all the really juicy criticisms.
