    Discussing Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson (sequel to the sequel to Neuromancer)

    Discussing Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson (sequel to the sequel to Neuromancer)

    At long last we finish out the Neuromancer/Sprawl trilogy. I never expected to get this far, yet here we are. What I'm saying is that Nate hasn't read this book for 2-3 years and can't remember most of what happened in it so Ben is gonna have to do a TON of carrying here.

    Discussing a NEW RELEASE: The Bridge to Bat City by Ernest Cline (Ernest Cline Saga VIII)

    A new release! By... Ernest Cline... oh gosh. Yes Ernest Cline didn't retire after that brazen failure and complete lack of effort and has come back with... his best book to date? What is even happening here?!?

    Discussing Murder She Wrote: Gin and Daggers by Jessica Fletcher and Donald Bain

    Discussing Murder She Wrote: Gin and Daggers by Jessica Fletcher and Donald Bain

    Finally, we're covering some proper literature on this podcast. The boys are discussing the book adaptation of the hit murder mystery show from the 80's. Jessica Fletcher is accused of murder in a foreign country. Can she clear her name and find the real killers before they ruin the reputation of Britain's greatest mystery writer who is not Agatha Christie? Yes, obviously. But I assume the journey will be fun regardless.

    Discussing The Giver by Lois Lowry

    Discussing The Giver by Lois Lowry

    Ben and Nate discuss the award-winning children's novel. This one is light on summary and heavy on confused philosophical rambling. You have been warned...
