The Liar Book Discussion

5/5/2024
Welcome to our latest episode. For this month, Alex and Joe read a strange novel by one of Joe's favorite people of all time. We read The Liar by Stephen Fry. This is kind of a spy novel but not. It is also a coming of age novel, but again not. One thing that it is, is funny. Or at least Joe thinks that. Give us a listen to find out why Alex thinks otherwise. And see who you agree with by reading along with us. Next month will be another of Alex's picks. The critically acclaimed children's novel, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. That will be out June 5th. And don't forget to tune in on the 20th of every month for our bonus episodes. The one this month will be another fan recommendation. Excitement! 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.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Book Discussion

4/5/2024
This month Alex and Joe discuss another controversial book. Today we are talking about The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. We don't delve too deeply into the controversy about the author, as neither of us looked too hard into it. It didn't really have much to do with the assigned reading. What we do discuss though, is how much we both enjoyed rereading this fun little story about an Indian leaving the reservation. We hope you get something out of this discussion also. Next month we will be reading The Liar by Stephen Fry. This is a Joe pick. It is a bit more of a complicated reading than this months read. But Joe believes a good change of pace. We will see what Alex has to say about that. And don't forget to be on the lookout for our "bonus" episode. We put those out on the 20th of every month. These are book discussions that are generated by other people. Some books we end up loving. Some we don't. Most of them we haven't read before, so it is always an exciting adventure for Joe and Alex to dive into none-the-less. Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do.

Bonus Episode; Valliant Women with Becky Guest Hosting

3/20/2024
For National Women's Month, we have a special book for everyone. Becky joins Joe to discuss the book Valliant Women by Lena Andrews. It is about the women that helped win World War Two; the brave women that broke tradition to assist our Soldiers and Marines and Navy in whatever capacity that they could. Becky gets her heckles up and Joe makes sure to needle her when appropriate. This one will teach everyone a lot of nearly forgotten and lost history. We highly recommend that people check this book out. Becky skipped a lot of the book, so more information can be delved into reading this one. Our next regularly scheduled book, The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, will be out on April 5th. So make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it.

Lamb Book Discussion

3/5/2024
This month Joe and Alex discuss the book, Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. This was Joe's pick. As he says, one of his top 5 books of all time. This is a controversial book about the "lost years" of Jesus and how he developed his teachings. A perfect book to read leading up to Easter this year, so you can really piss off your overly religious relatives as the heathen that you are. Also, Alex says like, like a million times. I had to give up editing them all out, otherwise I would still be working on that. If any of you are listening through Spotify, throw out a comment letting us know how many Alex still said in this podcast. Guilt him a little into trying to talk like an actual adult again please. Next month we will be discussing another controversial book. Alex is having us read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Our bonus episode this month, we will be joined again with everyone's favorite guest host, Becky. She will be doing a special talk on strong women in World War 2 as an homage Women's Month and all those women in our history that have sacrificed to get us to where we are today.

Bonus Episode; Becky talks about two retellings of Cinderella

2/20/2024
In this bonus episode, Becky was kind enough to join Joe again and discuss some fairytale retellings. Becky picked out two of her favorite childhood retellings, The Talking Eggs by Robert D. San Souci and Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters by John Steptoe. Becky has lots of questions about why we retell so many fairytales, and why so many are based on women. We would love to hear back from all of our listeners on their theories. At the end of this podcast, Joe's mic apparently decided to stop working correctly, and he was completely oblivious to it while it was happening. We apologize. We are trying to figure out what is going on. So please bear with it. We promise we have been better about catching it in other episodes. You can listen to the Myths and Legends Podcast episode that Joe mentioned about the Russian version of Cinderella at; https://open.spotify.com/episode/1DjsERZm4AxTfcETeQe9p4?si=X282XZotQymdMskBR8N3gw Our next regularly scheduled episode will be Lamb by Christopher Moore.

Gone Baby Gone Book Discussion

2/5/2024
This month Alex and Joe discuss the book, Gone Baby Gone by Denis Lehane. This is a crime thriller that takes place in '90s Boston. Both of us reflect on those simpler times and the tropes that these kinds of books loved to throw around back then. One thing that we had to keep reminding ourselves of, no cell phones. Oh how times have changed. Our next book we will be discussing will be Lamb by Christopher Moore. It is a controversial book and one of Joe's all time favorites. So we hope you read along with us for this one. As we know you all are doing anyways... Right? And don't forget to come back on the 20th for our next bonus episode.

In this episode we have two very special guests today. Both our wives, Becky and Megan are here to discuss a book that Alex is calling the greatest classic since Gilgamesh and Joe thinks it as the dumbest thing ever written... We are talking about the book, Stuffed by Sylvia Morrow. 87 pages of pure hell. About a sentient pillow. And the love making that ensued. This is a smut book of the most embarrassing kind. And yes there are tentacles. Alex does believe that this podcast may be even better than the book. And he loved the book... Warning, this episode is meant for adults only. If you are under 18 please politely fuck off and listen to one of our other episodes. Our next episode is thankfully a normal book. We will be reading and discussing Gone Baby Gone by Denis Lehane.

Bull Book Discussion

Our book for next month is on of Joe's picks, Night Watch by Sir Terry Pratchett. A comedy that takes place in the fabulous Disc world.

The Winter People book discussion

9/5/2023
This month Alex and Joe talk about one of Joe's picks. We talk about The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon. In this discussion we talk about zombie children and their peculiar tastes in human brains, McMahon's deft ability to create solid, complete characters that are interesting and complex, and how the author keeps the common genre of thriller/horror fresh and fun. A big difference from Joe's last pick. I apologize for the constant squeaking and creaking chair noises. We tried to record in a new location, and it didn't work out quite as well as we hoped. Next month will be in a better location. The book that Alex picks next month is going to be the hilarious, over-the-top, horror novel... John Dies at the End by David Wong (or Jason Pargin if you are buying a new copy). Joe also announces that they will begin posting Bonus Episodes. So keep your eyes peeled and subscribe so you don't miss out. With these bonus episodes, we would love to answer your questions or read your comments.

Alex also dreams up a little competition that the three of us partake in. Come join us tear this book apart and try to figure out how Alaina could have made this a compelling book if she had only talked to us first. Maybe. Let us know if you agree with us or if you disagree with us in our assessment, and if you listen to Alaina's podcast, Morbid. You can reach us at kendallbookworms@gmail.com or find us on @kendallbookworms on instagram. https://www.instagram.com/kendallbookworms/. Hope you enjoyed the show.

And Then There Were None Book Discussion

6/5/2023
This month Alex and Joe discuss the book, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. In Alex's book pick we go in depth on the characters and Agatha's ability to write something that few authors could ever manage to make almost believable. The questions the attempt to answer range from "What makes Christie the Queen of Mystery?" to "Were the plot twists and red herrings believable?" After the conclusions we try to answer Joe's thesis question, "How does this book exemplify Agatha Christie as the Queen of Mystery?" Next month's book will be Joe's pick. A book that will torture both of them. It will be The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart. We hope you enjoyed listening and will join us next month.
