This month Joe and Alex discuss the book, Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. This was Joe's pick. As he says, one of his top 5 books of all time. This is a controversial book about the "lost years" of Jesus and how he developed his teachings. A perfect book to read leading up to Easter this year, so you can really piss off your overly religious relatives as the heathen that you are.

Also, Alex says like, like a million times. I had to give up editing them all out, otherwise I would still be working on that. If any of you are listening through Spotify, throw out a comment letting us know how many Alex still said in this podcast. Guilt him a little into trying to talk like an actual adult again please.

Next month we will be discussing another controversial book. Alex is having us read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie.

Our bonus episode this month, we will be joined again with everyone's favorite guest host, Becky. She will be doing a special talk on strong women in World War 2 as an homage Women's Month and all those women in our history that have sacrificed to get us to where we are today.

Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

In this bonus episode, Becky was kind enough to join Joe again and discuss some fairytale retellings. Becky picked out two of her favorite childhood retellings, The Talking Eggs by Robert D. San Souci and Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters by John Steptoe. Becky has lots of questions about why we retell so many fairytales, and why so many are based on women. We would love to hear back from all of our listeners on their theories.

At the end of this podcast, Joe's mic apparently decided to stop working correctly, and he was completely oblivious to it while it was happening. We apologize. We are trying to figure out what is going on. So please bear with it. We promise we have been better about catching it in other episodes.

This month Alex and Joe discuss the book, Gone Baby Gone by Denis Lehane. This is a crime thriller that takes place in '90s Boston. Both of us reflect on those simpler times and the tropes that these kinds of books loved to throw around back then. One thing that we had to keep reminding ourselves of, no cell phones. Oh how times have changed.

Our next book we will be discussing will be Lamb by Christopher Moore. It is a controversial book and one of Joe's all time favorites. So we hope you read along with us for this one. As we know you all are doing anyways... Right?

And don't forget to come back on the 20th for our next bonus episode. Joe promises that it is not a repeat of last months. No sexy talk at all. Other than whatever Becky jokingly says anyways.

In this episode we have two very special guests today. Both our wives, Becky and Megan are here to discuss a book that Alex is calling the greatest classic since Gilgamesh and Joe thinks it as the dumbest thing ever written...

We are talking about the book, Stuffed by Sylvia Morrow. 87 pages of pure hell. About a sentient pillow. And the love making that ensued. This is a smut book of the most embarrassing kind. And yes there are tentacles. Alex does believe that this podcast may be even better than the book. And he loved the book...

Warning, this episode is meant for adults only. If you are under 18 please politely fuck off and listen to one of our other episodes. 

Our next episode is thankfully a normal book. We will be reading and discussing Gone Baby Gone by Denis Lehane. So please don't give up on us now and check that episode out when it gets posted.

This month Joe and Alex discuss the book Stiff by Mary Roach. They are joined by their favorite returning guest host, Becky. This was one of Becky's favorite teenage books. Yes, she is a little strange. But we all still love her. We talk about everyone's favorite subject, death. And more importantly, what to do with your body after you are no longer residing in it. Joe was shocked that he was the only one in the group that had thought about how they would like to be buried. 

Our next book that we will be discussing is Gone Baby Gone by Dennis Lehane. A fast paced mystery thriller that takes place in Boston.

We would love to know how you want to be buried or have done to your cadaver. So let us know. You can email, comment or DM us at a variety of different locations that can be found below.

And don't forget to keep your eyes out for our bonus episodes that get posted on the 20th of every month. This month's is going to be something that has scarred Joe deeply...

In this bonus episode, Becky has returned once again to discuss the book Peak by Roland Smith. She gives an in-depth overview of the book and gives us some of the prompts that she would give her middle school students. Joe and Becky discuss some of the ins and outs of climbing Everest. Neither of us are experts on the matter, so we apologize for all the details we got wrong. 

Our next episode will be the normally scheduled read along book with Alex and Joe. And who knows, Becky may be joining us again. We will be reviewing Stiff by Mary Roach. 

We hope that you have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

This month Alex and Joe discuss the Greek myth retelling, Bull, by David Elliot. It is a different kind of book. Completely told in poetic prose. The author is a local (to us) author that Alex was lucky enough to meet once. Listen to him geek out about this epic tale that looks at an old favorite from the point of views of some of the more minor characters and antagonists. 

Our next book is going to be Joe's pick. We will be reading Stiff; The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, by Mary Roach. Becky will also be joining us at the start of the new year, since this was one of her favorite books from back when she was in high school.

Also listen to our up coming bonus episode, where Becky leads a discussion with Joe on a book that she teaches in her classroom, Peak, by Roland Smith.

All bonus episodes will be posted on the 20th of the month just as the regular feed episodes are always posted on the 5th of the month. So keep your eyes peeled for new episodes.

Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

This month Alex and Joe discuss the absolutely hilarious book, Night Watch, by Sir Terry Pratchett. In this episode, Joe reads far too many quotes and gushes about how much he loves this book. Alex makes fun of his older brother for this shameful display of feelings while continuously repeating how this book is well done. 

Our next book is going to be a personal favorite for Alex. Bull by David Elliott. Elliott is a New Hampshire resident, so please help support him by buying this book if you are able. It is a little harder to find, but if you are willing to shop for it on Amazon, here is a link;

https://www.amazon.com/Bull-David-Elliott/dp/1328596338/ref=sr_1_1?crid=14A7X5LB2FLIX&keywords=bull+david+elliot&qid=1692317983&sprefix=bull+david+%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-1

Keep your eyes out for more bonus episodes. We are trying to up our production and get you guys more content if you want it. 

This book marks the halfway point for our first season of book reviews. As we said, please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

In this bonus episode, Adam joins us against his will. He suggested this book, Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar. Alex and Joe do their best to describe this book to Adam, since Adam did not do his reading assignment. This book is interesting because there are multiple ways to read it, and Alex and Joe compare notes on the ways that they read the book. At times Adam even gets excited and joins in on the conversation. 

The next book for the normally scheduled show will be Night Watch by Terry Pratchett.
