Ready Player One by Ernest Cline Part II

Bilbo finds a magic ring and riddles for his life. I'm sure it's just a regular magic ring that turns you invisible and not some soul-crushing doomsday weapon.

We're back with Heretics of Dune! Or Dune V-II. Today we advance slowly into the story a little further, kind of like how Frank advanced slowly into the story in this book. That's the WAB treatment at work! You get little hints and bits and pieces of the plot in between talking about how Kevin J Anderson is garbage! Just like the book!

The gang learns that thunderstorms are just giants playing football. Gandalf may or may not be in possession of weapons grade explosives. A lot more pony's are explicitly left to die than you might expect from a children's book.

It's that time again: Dune month. If you're wondering why it's early this year its because the movie came out and we want that SEO. We're talking about Heretics of Dune. The fifth book in Frank Herbert's Dune series. It is not what the movie is about. Enjoy.

The gang takes a short, tiny, small...2-week long...rest. If you got invited to hang out with Elrond, you wouldn't be very quick to leave either. But just who is Elrond?

This book is available Feb 27th, 2024 wherever good e-books are sold (or at the very least on Kindle).

This week we're discussing a book by PATRON John Bierce! We've covered The Mage Errant #1, The Wrack, and interviewed him and now we're BACK FOR MORE! We talk about several stories in the series and hopefully don't ruin our friendship with JB forever! Should be a good one!

Bilbo begins his adventure. He runs 2 miles in under 20 minutes, and he even tries his hand at pick pocketing. Maybe there's more to this hobbit than meets the eye.

Ben once said that if we ever covered Tolkien it would have to be an entirely different podcast. Nate said "Ok." Now here we are, talking about Tolkien. On this podcast we will go through Tolkien's books chapter by chapter adding context and discussing the real world inspirations behind the story. You're encouraged to read along with us. In this episode, we discuss Chapter One of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Party.

This week we're taking a look at a Japanese murder mystery from the 40's. Written by the legendary Seishi Yokomizo, whose work only recently became available in English, The Honjin Murders is a locked room mystery in the style of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr. I sure hope there isn't some strange Rube Goldberg machine involved...
