  • The Picture of Dorian Gray Book Review
    Nov 5 2025

    Alex has given us the opportunity to read his favorite book of all time with him. This is his last pick of season two, and he wanted to go out with a bang. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a true classic that is still poignant and relevant in today's society. So, buckle up and let's enjoy the ride of a story that has given us one of the world's most recognizable characters.

    Next month, Joe is getting to give his last pick of the season. He is also swinging for the fences with one of science fiction's greats. He has picked Hyperion by Dan Simmons. This book is ranked up there with the Dune series, Culture series, or the Foundation series. So, a heavy hitter for sure. We will be posting our discussion for this one on December 5th, so make sure you have it marked in your calendars.

    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 (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making). 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: Joe Whines About Something He Knew Would Hurt: aka The Butcher Game Review
    Oct 20 2025

    Poor poor Becky. Joe has cornered her and demanded that she sit through a review of a book he knew he would hate.

    That's right. The long anticipated book review of The Butcher Game by Alaina Urquhart. Sadly, Alex and Becky refused to buddy read the book with Joe. It was a painful read, but someone had to do it. And Joe certainly enjoys the pain...

    So please sit back and enjoy sharing that pain Joe endured for your entertainment, just like he did with Becky. Listen to why they believe it is a bad book and what recommendations they have for the third book in the series.

    Next month will be Alex's last pick of the season. And he picked a special one to him. It is his proclaimed favorite book of all time. And if we are being honest, it is a classic. Alex will be having us all read A Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. So, make sure you have subscribed and marked it in your calendar so you don't miss it. That will be dropping on November 5th.

    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 (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making).

  • The Wanting Seed Book Review
    Oct 5 2025

    And we're back! With another book review.

    This month Alex and Joe discuss a Joe pick. We read The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess. Yes. The guy that wrote A Clockwork Orange. Our first repeat author. Not the author either of us would have picked for jumping back to. But here we are.

    Next month will be Alex's last pick of the season. And he picked a special one to him. It is his proclaimed favorite book of all time. And if we are being honest, it is a classic. Alex will be having us all read A Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. So, make sure you have subscribed and marked it in your calendar so you don't miss it. That will be dropping on November 5th.

    And some good news. We will have a bonus episode for this month. We apologize for missing September. But we are back on schedule. That episode will be dropping on October 20th.

    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 (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making).
