Midnight LIbrary

The Midnight Library – Matt Haig – Episode 76

The Buddies stayed up late and visited the Midnight Library by Matt Haig. The book was surprisingly philosophical and dealt with darker real-life subjects. So who better to chat about it than two immature barely literate buddies? The Buddies delved into the power of correcting people, the benefits of being in a coma, and once again explain the quantum mechanical theory of Schrödinger’s cat perfectly. Choose a life where you listen to this podcast and become a life long Buddy, press play on this episode, that is what Mrs. Elm would want you to do.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark – Alvin Schwartz – Episode 75

The Buddies revisited a child hood favorite for Halloween, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Shwartz. The horror filled book meant for kids, is still scary to this day in large part due to Stephen Gammell drawings. The Buddies got to reminiscing about childhood fears, and chatting about when negging goes too far, Halloween Games, and how to properly cook your big toes. So don’t walk, but run to your nearest podcast player and throw this episode on… if you dare.

Killer of the Flower Moon

Killers of the Flower Moon – David Grann – Episode 74

The Buddies take a stroll down the non-fiction aisle this week, reading Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann. The new Leonardo DiCaprio/Martin Scorsese film of the same title got them jazzed up to read this popular book. The Buddies tried to keep things light despite the shockingly true story of the Osage Murders of the 1920s. They got to chatting about Wizzbang, Oklahoma, moonshine, prison sentencing/capital punishment, and showing up to negotiations naked. So before you go to the movie, let the Buddies fill you up with knowledge (read: useless ramblings)!

Leviathan Wakes

Leviathan Wakes – James S. A. Corey – Episode 73

The Buddies are back in the sci-fi world, this time venturing out into the great unknown, or one might say, The Expanse… as they took on book one of The Expanse series, Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey. The Buddies were quite agreeable on this one, as they discussed giving mass-murders seconds chances, the benefits of rioting, and the spot-on historical accuracies of films like U571 and The Patriot. So wake up, expand your mind, and join the Buddy Book Club AKA, the Leviathan (Wakes) of podcast.

The Buddies were all goosed up to watch the 2000’s action movie Swordfish. The Buddies are currently reading the lengthy, Leviathan Wakes (and in the midst of the NFL season), but wanted to discuss the controversial movie for all the listeners that have been begging for it. The Buddies discussions/arguments got them talking about the name ‘Stanley’, the cleanliness of tequila shots, and the 60 second countdown. So live a life where nothing is beyond you. Do what only other fantasizes about, and join the Buddies as they discuss the epic/horrible (depending on who you ask) action thriller Swordfish.

Anxious People

Anxious People – Fredrik Backman – Episode 71

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman was recommended by one of the thousands of Buddies/listeners out there, and it did not disappoint. A super original funny, sad, clever, novel that flew by. The Buddies got into a few arguments on this one, but they did find common ground when it came to a few topics, such as: Swedish pizza toppings,  unethical business dealings, and wanting to go to Swedish prison. So check out Anxious People and keep the recommendations coming!

The Deadly Deal

The Deadly Deal – J. Lee (INTERVIEW) – Episode 70

The Buddies were thrilled to welcome J. Lee, author of the newly released thriller: The Deadly Deal. The Buddies got a chance to ask J. some hard hitting questions such as: What is his go to McDonald’s order, what conspiracy theories he believes in, and they got to quiz him on his Seinfeld knowledge. They also of course asked him about his new page-turning thriller, and were even able to get him to reveal the original alternate ending. So don’t walk, run to your nearest bookstore/internets and purchase The Deadly Deal which is out today, then join us here at the Buddy Book Club.

Shift Book 2

Shift (Silo Series: Book 2) – Hugh Howey – Episode 68

The Buddies are back! We had a brief hiatus, that may or mayn’t have been related to our next book and a certain medical condition that lasted over four hours. Nevertheless, the Buddies turned the page to Book 2 of the Silo Series, Shift by Hugh Howey. Unbeknownst to them, this book is actually a prequal so naturally the Buddies discussed The Phantom Menace, Ted Williams death, and why it’s good to be soft as baby poop. So forget everything you know about Juliette and all our friends from Wool, read up on Austin Powers and cryogenic chambers, and join us for the second instalment of the Silo series.

The Rage of Dragons

The Rage of Dragons – Evan Winter – Episode 67

The Buddies love them some revenge stories like Red Rising and Gladiator; The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter, is a combination of both. The book which takes place in a war-torn fantasy world, had the Buddies getting into some heated battles themselves. Topics ranged from the brain enhancements of being ambidextrous to the pros and cons of getting intimate in a bath house. So pack your armor, your dual swords, and join us as we read The Rage of Dragons, a top-10 podcast book.
