Lexi & Ben get literary AF with their first ever book club episode! Dork book club? Book dork club? Whatever. Listen in as they dork out about some of the formative books that made them the dorks they are today.SHOW NOTES:Books we talked about:The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (Lexi)Catacombs by Paul McCusker (Ben)It Happened in Boston? by Russell H. Greenan (Lexi)The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (Ben)Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins (Ben)Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (Lexi)Redwall by Brian Jacques (not Jeph Jacques) (Ben)Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami (Lexi & Ben)Every book ever written by David Sedaris (Lexi)The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (Ben)Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (Ben)Important references:Scotish snowplowsReading Rainbow (We love you LeVar)Jonathon Frakes libidoChristian Persecution ComplexEveryone is DEADCletusToonie (ferreal)Margaret AtwoodTheodore Mouse Goes to Sea"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one"Becky ChambersBONUS MATERIAL:Producer Jess' formative book picks and explanations:Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones. I wasn't really much of a reader until I was turned on to the Harry Potter series, but this was the first book I read before even those ones that made me interested in fantasy, and was ultimately what put me on the path of being a lifelong book lover (Gail Carson Levine also falls under this umbrella as another kickass fairytale fantasy writer)A Complicated Kindness, Miriam Toews. I think YA is grossly underrated and books like this prove that; I also think the idea that YA has to have a happy ending is ridiculous and this is a book that proves that because it's decidedly melancholic throughout all the way to the end (but honestly that is how teenagerdom felt for me, so I appreciate that)Nightwood, Djuna Barnes. From a stylistic perspective it's unlike any other book I've ever read (it's a story with no plot, really - contemporary of TS Eliot if that gives any context) and it fundamentally changed the way I think about love and sexualityThe Waves, Virginia Woolf. My favourite of Woolf's work, this is the first time I ever got to read an experience of depression that felt like my ownThe Good Earth, Pearl S. Buck. Yes, this is an Oprah Book Club book that was given to me by my mother as an "easy read" because I was feeling overwhelmed crushing out a shitload of classics readings in my undergrad, but this is a book that I re-read probably once a year. It just kind of makes you feel good despite the fact that it's about the cyclical folly of man, and I love that Difficult Women, Roxane Gay - I love short stories as much as I love novels, and this is one of the best collections I've ever read, period. Every single one of these stories completely captures the terror and power of what it means to be a womanGrief is the Thing with Feathers, Max Porter - I don't think I've ever cried so hard reading before (like had to stop because I couldn't see the page crying) but you feel really cathartically better after because if you've ever experienced any death in your life this is a heartbreakingly true articulation of how truly awful it is to lose someone you love SOCIALS:Here's where you can find us!Lexi's website and twitter and instagramBen's website and instagram and where to buy his book: Amazon.ca / Comixology / Ind!go / Renegade ArtsDork Matter's website(WIP) and twitter and instagramIf you're enjoying Dork Matters, we'd really appreciate a nice rating and review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods. It would very much help us get this show to the other dorks out there.“Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold."

Andi and Lise are way into the award-winning Questionable Content webcomic (Lise got Andi started on it), by Jeph Jacques, which launched August 1, 2003 and has been since then. It’s a slice-of-life comic populated by a diverse group of people and includes strong women and strong queer rep and all kinds of other rep. People of different ages and body types, backgrounds, and all kinds of things in between. The comic is at times hilarious, moving, poignant, wacky, and overall an amazing amount of fun.
