Two nerds missed school so much they gave themselves homework. We read books! It's a vaguely book club format, so feel free to read along with us. We mostly read SF/F, though that's not a rule. If you enjoy interesting insights sandwiched by stupid jokes then boy howdy do we have a show for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In celebration of our 1st anniversary, only the finest literature would do. Join us as we read Chained to Krampus, featuring surprisingly little bondage and far too much weirdness.


CONTENT WARNING: Chained to Krampus is smut. We're talking about smut. Check for more specific CWs if that worries you (it should). Don't listen in public... or do, I'm not your dad.

We wade into the Cosmere with Tress's Emerald Sea! It's not made from water, but green sand. It makes sense, somehow. Join us as Tress loses the boy she loves, plans a heist, meets a rat, climbs a vine, and gets pressed-ganged into piracy.

We wrap everything up for the Grace Year. We count the dead, add some to their number, learn the truth of Tierney's dreams, find out whether the dove survives, and wonder if Tierney does.


Our mid-ep schedule is a bit wonky because I think I misread it, but we'll be back with the Grace Year bonus (for the Patrons) on January 7th, and finally with part 1 of Tress of the Emerald Sea on the 14th. See you in 2025!

The weather warms and the sun's out. It's Spring! Tierney benefits from several deus ex machinas (latin plural needed) and stares at a naked man. The numbers come in, and they're pretty bad. It's a shorter one, folks.


Next time: The Grace Year Ends. Tierney becomes a tree (jk jk... unless?)

We've arrived at the Grace Year encampment, where there is no grace (presumably, not all the girls are named). There's a lot of bodies, creepiness, magic, and maggots. Yum yum yum. Also featuring: a boy and maybe less fun opium.


Audio Note: Markus's audio will be robotic at a couple tiny parts, because of wifi-related audio issues. It should go back to normal afterwards.

We continue or journey into Discworld by boat and enter into The Temptations of Brutha. Brutha wanders while Simony starts trying to make moves. Everyone here is definitely totally sane, and in the end we decide "It was time to do something about Omnia."

We follow the continued adventures of Brutha and his one-eyed tortoise god, Om. Vorbis continues to be cartoonishly evil, Om makes a deal for Brutha's life, and Brutha meets the demonized Ephebians and their philosophers. Said demon philosophers spend surprising amounts of time being naked in the streets and drunkenly arguing with each other. Brutha questions a lot about how he was raised. The Omnians are bullied into signing a pea...
