Ep 80 - Wool

We’ve all heard someone say something to the effect of, “that’s just how we do it and always have.” Imagine that being applied to everything in your life; who is allowed to have children, who is in control of the government, why can no one go outside? Now imagine even asking those questions would get you executed. Welcome to the world in the Silo, based on the book Wool by Hugh Howey

This month we discuss How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell and what we feel the book is about.

Ep 69 - The Overstory

There is an old saying about not being able to see the forrest for the trees. In The Overstory, it could be said people can’t see life for the trees with the exception being several random people who are all brought together to fight for trees and to attempt to save the forrest. This month we discuss Richard Power’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel about how saving trees is the only way we can save ourselves.

Ep 56 - The Wizards Butler

Butler isn’t a job title most people would consider in this day and age. But tie the job to a 1 year contract, $5,000 a month and a cool million on completion and a lot of people might jump at it. But what if the old man you are taking care of thinks he is a wizard? What if he really is? This month we are reading The Wizard’s Butler by Nathan Lowell. We were a little late getting this one recorded and had already planned on taking off the month of December, so count this as an early Christmas present. Our next books will be:

Ep 53 - Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir blew everyone away with his first book The Martian. So when his newest book was a return to space, we were excited to read it. But it wasn’t what we were expecting… in a great way. This month, we’re reading Project Hail Mary and discussing why it felt so much like one of our favorite book series; for obvious reasons. Our next book will be Salem’s Lot by Stephen King.
