  • The White Plague Book Review
    Apr 5 2025

    It is time again for a Joe pick. This month he has had his brother read a lesser known Frank Herbert novel. The White Plague came out about the same time as the 4th book in the famous Dune series. God Emperor of Dune blew off the Sci-fi shelves faster than a sandworm could swallow Harkonnens. This book not so much. That is not to say it is a "bad" book. But you'll have to listen to the brothers discuss as to why it may have missed the mark.

    Next month, May, it will be Alex's turn to pick again. Alex has picked a book that both brothers are going into blind. So, stay tuned for how they will enjoy the very popular epic fantasy novel The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. That will be out on the 5th 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 (as noted by Joe, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making). 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; Some Desperate Glory
    Mar 20 2025

    Joe has a bone to pick. A rant to make. And poor Alex has to suffer for it. Not only is he forced to participate in this conversation, Joe forced him to have to read this horribly dreadful book. That's right. The brothers read the 2024 Hugo winning book, Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh. Listen in as they discuss the reasons why they think this book should never have even been in the discussion for what was once such a prestigious award for Science Fiction and Fantasy. If you have read this book, and either agree with the brothers or especially disagree, please comment and let them know. They would really love your feedback on this one. What did they miss!?

    Next month for their book club pick, Joe has us all reading The White Plague by Frank Herbert. Yes that Frank Herbert that gave us the most popular science fiction book of all time, Dune. Let's see if what the brothers think of his lesser known work; if it lives up to the name of such an acclaimed author. That episode will be dropping on April 5th, so keep your eyes open for that.

    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.

  • Howl's Moving Castle Book Discussion
    Mar 5 2025

    We are in an Alex book pick month. And he decided on a nice cozy young adult fantasy. The two brothers (and hopefully you!) read Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. A story about Sophie, a young shop girl, oldest of three sisters, who is cursed with old age by the Witch of the West.

    April is back to a Joe pick month. We will be making the large jump from fantasy to science fiction. Joe has picked the lesser known novel of the most famous sci-fi author of all times. We will be reading The White Plague by Frank Herbert. So mark it in your calendars so you don't miss this show.

    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.
