One can hardly ignore the Taoist implications of "Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling."

Genre: Reading, writing, literature, and other book-nerd type stuff
Release schedule: Weekly, typically Wednesdays or Thursdays

Description: A close friend of mine and I have been doing this for about a year; we talk about what we're reading these days, and then launch into discussions of everything from YA fiction to maintaining suspense in a multi-book series and beyond. Lately we've been getting to do some major author interviews, including Joe Lansdale and John Connolly. We have a pretty good sense of humor, but as much as anything, this is book nerds talking about books of all kinds.

Sir, I am sold and I'm willing to give it a shot. If I like it, then I will listen to it more.

Thanks so much! One way or the other, please give me your honest feedback - it's one reason I'm eager to share it here so people can tell me if we suck or not.

I know I'm re-posting this, but I saw where lots of people are posting each time they do a new episode, and I thought I'd give an update on our show. At this point, we've done about 60 episodes (we just recorded #61, which will be out next week). These days, we're doing a lot of the same book talk, but we've also started a book club (where we dedicate one episode a month to discussing a single novel in detail) and are trying to drum up more interest in author interviews and guests.

I don't know how well we're doing subscriber-wise (my co-host controls that part), but we seem to get a decent amount of e-mail each week, including even one from an SA moderator one week (cool!). So, we're still going strong. I'd love to get feedback from anyone here, be it through PM or e-mail or whatever - how do we sound? How are the episodes? Too long? Too short? Let us know!
