To celebrate our third anniversary we've brought a classic episode out from behind the paywall. Here again we revisit a barely remembered title from Brandon's childhood and through that discuss what it was like growing up at the tail end of the Cold War. It's long been one of our patrons' favorites and we're so happy for everyone to enjoy it now.

"Now we're going to get into some of my rationalizations..."

This month we tackle our first biography and it was quite an experience. Quite possibly the only biography you'll ever hear us talk about.

Next month we're discussing Ellen Klages' Passing Strange. Join us!

Look, no one asked Wendy for a cover blurb, but "Dumbass, escapist fun" would have been a great one. This was a fun read and a fun conversation.

Next month we'll discuss our first biography, Mick Foley's Have A Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks.

This one was a rough read, and here's a content warning - rape and incest are plot points in this book, and we do discuss their use in this episode. If you haven't read this, we definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Next month we jump into the world of LitRPG, which one of us is very familiar with and the other has zero knowledge of. Join us in December for Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Dear listeners you have almost certainly never read this book and we beg you not to. This month we dive into Washburn & Webb's The Predators which one of us (sure, guess who) read when they were way too young. Not that there's any good age to read this book.

Thoughts on this one? Want to borrow a copy? (No you don't). Let us know at [email protected].

Join us next month for Robin McKinley's Sunshine!

This month we wrestle with Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and wow y'all. Here's a little preview:

"My one note is from page 7, where I figured it could end right here..."

This month we dive into Mishell Baker's Borderline and Brandon's general dislike of urban fantasy.

Y'all, this book is wild. David Morrell's First Blood gave the world Rambo but it's not quite the Rambo from the movies. There's waist-high guano, out of body experiences, and the slaughter and consumption of an owl. Don't read it, just listen to us process the madness.

Next month we're heading to something slightly closer to reality, Borderline by Mishell Baker.

The last third part of the Southern Reach trilogy series, and the last we'll be discussing, this month it's Jeff VanderMeer's Acceptance. Did we like it or would we have preferred it would be something it's not? Yes.

Join us next month as we dive into First Blood, by David Morrell. One of us read this more than thirty years ago, when they were far too young. Can you guess which?
