The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest and Death's End are 3 books that have become increasingly popular. It the first part of 4, we discuss the trilogy in general, our thoughts and impressions without any spoilers. The point of this episode is to help you decide if you actually want to read this.

Throughout the next 3 weeks, you can look forward to weekly episodes for each of the three books with full on spoilers. We will deep dive into each book, sum up the story for those who haven't read it and award depression points. I'd recommend listening also as a recap before reading the next book.

Join us on this epic 4 parter and the reason why we started recording this podcast in the first place.

Nameless City and The Dreams in the Witch-house are two short stories by H. P. Lovecraft that Paolo chose for this episode. We discuss our experience with reading Lovecraft's stories, his life, writing style and a connection to Alan Moore.

Paolo and I have decided to discuss some of our favorite short stories over the next couple of episode. On this one we go deep and deeper into a debate about one of my favorite stories by Orson Scott Card - The Changed Man And The King Of Words. It was part of a collection of stories by O. S. Card called Maps in a mirror.

We have also got in touch with another book podcast that we both enjoyed called Book Retorts and did a cross-promotion. So check them out, I wasn't able to find many podcasts about books that I actually enjoyed. This one has my full support: bookretorts.com
