    Maxwell's Demon by Steven Hall

    We're very excited to bring you a review of the upcoming (in the US) Steven Hall book Maxwell's Demon! We've been anticipating this book for a while, and in a first for the podcast, we've actually both read the book two times before talking about it!  In our next episode, we got Steven to join us for a little over an hour of discussion about Maxwell's Demon, The Raw Shark Texts, and some exciting television projects that hopefully we'll get to see sooner than later! That episode will be available in just a week, so be sure to come back!  This is a public episode.

    The Paradox Twins by Joshua Chaplinsky

    As promised, here is our review of The Paradox Twins by Joshua Chaplinsky! This is our first chance to crack into some fiction by Josh, though he has previously published Kanye West - Reanimator, and Whispers in the Ear of a Dreaming Ape. Based on how much we liked this book, his other work has jumped up on the TBR pile. The busy schedule of a book reviewer, I tell ya.  Coming soon to the podcast: A review of Maxwell's Demon by Steven Hall, AND an interview with Steven Hall. Those are fully locked in. Beyond that, we're in talks to get another author on. It's not verified yet, but... I WANT TO BELIEVE. This is a public episode.

    Winkie by Clifford Chase

    We're back with our final (for now) throwback book! Winkie, by Clifford Chase, was released in 2007, and is a pretty unique book, in as much as the main plot is that of a sentient teddy bear that is accused of being a very prolific terrorist bomber.  We had both enjoyed reading this book back when it was released, and it's resurfaced for us over the years, so we thought we would share it with our listeners, and hope you enjoy it too.  Coming up! We're back to reading recently released books, with Truly Like Lightning by podcast friend David Duchovny! This is a public episode.

    The Club Dumas by Arturo Perez-Reverte

    We are back with a review of one of our long-time favorite books/authors. This is one of the books that Robb and Livius bonded over before this podcast was a gleam in our eyes (yikes, that conjures disturbing images of the podcast's creation). After the review, we discuss the film adaptation The Ninth Gate, and some other books by Perez-Reverte.  Next episode, we've been threatening it for some time, and now it's happening! Winkie by Clifford Chase is our next book, as well as the next episode you'll get to hear!  This is a public episode.

    The Contortionist's Handbook by Craig Clevenger

    After nearly a decade of talking about books, we finally dig in to a discussion of one of our all-time favorites, The Contortionist's Handbook by Craig Clevenger. While technically it is a review, I think we all know this is going to come out pretty well for Craig. We only hope that we did the story justice, and that we inspire people to check it out, because as we say in the episode, it's a pretty perfect book. After the book talk, we spend some time catching up on the things that we've been watching. Next episode is another blast from the past, as we talk about The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit bookedpodcast.substack.com
