Extra Nate: The Bread Mage

Ben if you’re reading this, and you’re not, you’re welcome to make superficial edits to this post. Like changing “Bread Mage” to the actual name of the book and “Evil Inquisitor” to whatever that guy’s job title actually was. I can’t be bothered to go back and look, re-reading books isn’t in my contract. I’ve been struggling to decide what...

Extra Nate: Sonic Canon is a Mess

Today we released a discussion of Sonic The Hedgehog, the comic, but not the comic you’re probably thinking of. There was a brief discussion of Sonic Canon, because Sonic Canon is a mess. It’s terrible. You can’t convince me otherwise. Now I’m going to talk like I’m an authority on this topic because I know you’re either already a Sonic...

Ben’s 2024 Year in Books

The overwhelming majority of the books I read in 2024 were covered on Words About Books. There were several books and novel-length manga I read that I did not make podcast content on. I thought it might be fun to go over them here. If the presence of so much manga surprises you, then you might not know that I...

Dune Post Mortem: Zen and the Art of Thinking Machines

As of this month, Words About Books has officially covered all of the Dune books written by Frank Herbert. It’s a strange feeling. Words About Books can often be a sarcasm-filled mess of rants, interruptions, and audio memes. In addition to its being a difficult environment for emotional honesty, it can be difficult to say exactly what you mean, in...

Extra Nate: Bioshock

Here I am with a non-book for some reason. Probably because Ben gave me access to this blog and he never checks it so I can slip in a video game. I guess there are books for this series and I will never read them. So this is the best you’re going to get. I just finished the first game...

Extra Nate: The Mystery of the Yellow Room Review

It’s Extra Nate! Prepare for spoilers! Okay I’ll keep this one short. The Mystery of the Yellow Room… not good. Not a fan. Not great. Sorry Dame Agatha Christie but I have to disagree with you on this one. This is absolutely cheating. It’s kind of BS. The Mystery of the Yellow Room is a locked room mystery. Locked room...

Extra Nate: Throne of Glass Book Review

It’s Extra Nate! This time I’m talking about Throne of Glass, the thing I read instead of reading A Court of Mist and Fury. Because Ben put up a poll on Patreon. And the Patrons made their voices heard. And they wanted us to only read one book. And that book was ToG. Not ACoMaF. Thanks. So here we are,...

Extra Nate: Revisiting The Chocolate War

It’s Extra Nate! With a topic nobody asked for or cares about other than me. Re-re-discussing the Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. You remember that, right? The book I talked about like 4 years ago that only I read and Ben didn’t? I read it in high school and it stuck with me and I wanted to see how I...
