  • Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko Book Discussion
    Feb 5 2025

    Joe has picked another book called Night Watch. This time, instead of time travel and revolution, we are discussing Russian philosophy and bad writing. That's right, as the title of the episode says, we read Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch. A novel that takes place in post-Soviet Moscow, where the wizards of the Light and the Dark are battling it out on the streets.

    In this episode, the brothers will talk about what was good about the novel and where the author went so wrong in the second half. This is another book that Joe read in his college days, and his opinion has markedly changed since that first reading. Alex... Well, he had some changing opinions on the book too.

    Next month (March) is an Alex pick. He is asking all of us to read the classic book, Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Another fantasy book, this time geared more for a younger audience. So make sure you pick it up and have it read by the 5th of next month.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

    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.

  • Bonus Episode None of This is True Musings
    Jan 20 2025

    Welcome to the bonus episode of the month. This month Joe tells Becky about a book that he read for one of his book clubs. It was a book that he had little faith in, but ended up being thankful that Becky insisted he give it a try and read it. So buckle up, because this rambling talk is going to be all over the place; with lots of ups and downs and craziness.

    Next month's book pick is Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (Not to be confused with Terry Pratchett's novel by the same name). So make sure you subscribe and keep your eyes open for the 5th of February for that episode drop.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode.

  • The Penelopiad Book Discussion
    Jan 5 2025

    It is the start of a new year! And what better way than to make a resolution to listen to this podcast. This month Alex picked the retelling of The Odyssey from one of his favorite authors. The brothers read The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. It is through the eyes of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, and her long grueling wait for a wandering husband. Told in a quick and snappy way that is a pure pleasure to read.

    For the February pick, Joe changed it up a little bit. He picked the Russian urban-fantasy novel Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko. Don't get this confused with last years pick of the same title by Sir Terry Pratchett. Two very different stories.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.
