I Don’t Even Own a Television is a podcast about bad books. Every two weeks, hosts J. W. Friedman and Chris Collision get together to talk about a book you almost certainly should not read. Past guests have included Jeb “@mobute” Lund, Mara Wilson, Mike Sacco, The FPlus' Lemon, and many others. Chris went from occasional guest to permanent cohost in episode 28, Pines. The dogs in the studio come and go unpredictably. Topics range from musicians' memoirs, bad fantasy, wresters' memoirs, bad thrillers, athletes' memoirs, awful self-help books, and sometimes a celebrity memoir. They're not afraid to go after sacred cows of genre literature, but try to keep away from being the thousandth person to tell you that Twilight is bad. You might know J from the music he made/makes as Satellite High, including a fair number of songs written as jokes on these very forums. IDEOTV updates on alternate Mondays.

Where to start:
I don't loving know. Have some personal favorites instead.

Night of the Crabs
Crabs are more powerful and more intelligent than all the world's militaries. Only one pipe-smoking, sex-having professor can save us all.

The 50th Law
They say 50 Cent wrote a self-help book. What actually happened is a very angry man wrote a self-help book and chatted with 50 Cent for an afternoon to make it sell.

DOOM: Knee Deep in the Dead
The Doom comic is famous for being over-the-top nonsense. The novelization isn't much different.

Wild Animus
A dude drops a bunch of acid and lives on a mountain pretending to be a goat. It is very serious. This book is in stock in every secondhand book shop in America.

Those Who Tresspass
The only person who can stop serial killer Bill O'Reilly is maverick investigator Bill O'Reilly. A book by Bill O'Reilly

Ready Player One
The biggest exception to the "no-dogpile" rule, but hey, Ready Player One really does suck that much.

I read the novelization of Sonic the Hedgehog once where it turns out Sonic's origin story is that he used to be brown and slow, and then science, which turned Robotnik evil and made Sonic blue. He ran around a lot and his uncle made better shoes for him.

The backstory of the Gex games involves his dad's death in a spaceship explosion, infantilizing depression, and NASA being disbanded and Australia being bought wholesale. This is only present in the first game's manual and the novelization. It exists only to set up why Gex owns a big-screen TV in the first games opening cutscene, and does nothing to set up the game's world and conceit.

He has some good stories of being in Night Vale live shows and people swarming him after to get him to sign their bus cards.
