  • First Blood
    Jun 12 2024

    Y'all, this book is wild. David Morrell's First Blood gave the world Rambo but it's not quite the Rambo from the movies. There's waist-high guano, out of body experiences, and the slaughter and consumption of an owl. Don't read it, just listen to us process the madness.


    Next month we're heading to something slightly closer to reality, Borderline by Mishell Baker.

  • Acceptance
    May 12 2024

    The last third part of the Southern Reach trilogy series, and the last we'll be discussing, this month it's Jeff VanderMeer's Acceptance. Did we like it or would we have preferred it would be something it's not? Yes.


    Join us next month as we dive into First Blood, by David Morrell. One of us read this more than thirty years ago, when they were far too young. Can you guess which?

  • Authority
    Apr 12 2024

    We've got the second Southern Reach book, Jeff VanderMeer’s Authority. This time we mostly just take shots at the book itself, rather than roping in any innocent bystanders.


    Join us next month as we conclude the original Area X trilogy with VanderMeer's Acceptance.

  • NOS4A2
    Jan 12 2024
    "I wouldn't say don't read it because of that.""There's other reasons to not read it."


    Joe Hill's NOS4A2, everyone. Not one I'd recommend unless you're a big Hillhead, but still a very fun discussion.


    Next month's read is All The Birds In The Sky, by Charlie Jane Anders.
