Words About Books

Did Nate finish this episode and then forget to upload it? Maybe. But once you forget this came out late, we'll say it didn't. We'll gaslight you that we never ever missed a due date and that maybe you're the one who remembered things wrong. Anyway we're jumping RIGHT BACK into this book. No intro. Just boom, you're in the book, getting talked at.

A special bonus episode! This week we discuss Harry Potter in detail. We spend a lot of time analyzing the books in great detail, including concepts such as "what is a philosopher stone even?" We did avoid mention of the author, this is just pure Harry Potter discussion.

This week the boys talk about the first book in the Animorphs series. They talk about it. Like a book club. They don't just read the book into the microphone. Anyone who listens to it for like 1 minute would get this. It's not actually that complicated or hard to comprehend or understand. If we were to read this book it would take longer than an hour. You would have to be some sort of souless algorithm or a total moron to not grasp that this is fair use and not copyright infringement. It's not.

Detective Kosuke Kindaichi is back. He is tasked with notifying his fallen comrade's family of his death. Before he died, Chimata told Kosuke to save his sisters. But save them from whom? On the night of Chimata's wake one of his three sisters is found murdered. Can Kosuke solve this mystery in time to save the others? No, he can't. That's actually spoiled pretty early on in the book.

Last year The Hunger Games clinched the WABie for Best in Show! So the boys are back to discuss the sequel: Catching Fire. This time the stakes are higher when an elderly man who smells like blood says that Katniss is about to get a lot of people killed and that she has to stop that. Then he kills a bunch of people and blames her. Then he sends in a new Head Peacekeeper to menace our plucky heroes. How will she handle this new threat? How will she lead a revolution?
