A podcast where two brothers discuss books that they love and the occasional book that missed the mark. We will deep dive into our thoughts about the books along with the themes and book group discussion points that we find pertinent. All the books will be spoiled; you have been warned.
Alex, by pure happenstance, is following up our last monthly episode about John Cleese with John Cleese's father's favorite book. What John Cleese boasted as one of the funniest book ever written. That's right. We are reading Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. Now, I don't know if this is one of the funniest books ever written, but it does have its highs and lows. Be sure to listen carefully as the brothers break down their thoughts and reactions to this timeless classic, and oldest book read for this season.
Next month, Joe has picked a behemoth of a book to try and get through. By far, the longest of the season. Maybe. He has picked The Terror by Dan Simmons. It is the book that got Joe into polar exploration stories. And there is even an abdominal snowman for our heroes to contend with in this historical fiction horror novel. So be sure to get an early start on it, as it is a long one.
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. 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: Between Two Fires Medium Read Review
Hello everyone. Today Alex had to pony up on Joe's challenge to get all of you fabulous listeners to read his Medium book reviews. And the winner by a long shot was Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. As it is the first book to reach over 100 reads out of all Joe's book review articles, the brothers take a much deeper dive into the book and do a detailed plot summary and talk about their favorite parts of the story.
Remember, the competition is still going. Any other Medium book reviews the brothers have written in their respective profiles (links will be below) that get over 100 reads, the brothers will do more bonus episodes. Already, Alex owes Joe a second book, Complicity by Iain Banks. And a third book, The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett, is getting close. Alex is still working on growing his audience, and has a way to go...
Next month is an Alex pick. He has chosen the famous comedy, Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. It is a short read, and supposedly one of the funniest books that John Cleese has ever read. And no, Alex did not pick this book because of him. Just a happy accident (If you know what I mean). So make sure to read along and hopefully laugh as hard as we did in this last book.
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. 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.
