If you need a podcast, you can listen to The Legendarium Podcast.

*Googlechmoogles* now that sounds interesting... It's a series? I will have to write that one behind my ear for a later date (my head wouldn't be capable of reading HP right now even, if I hadn't read it before sigh), that actually sounds interesting! 

Well Words of Radiance is book 2 of a series(The Stormlight Archive) while Warbreaker is currently a standalone.

 

Both are by Brandon Sanderson.

I'm still waiting for Warbreaker. Grrrr.... Niniel is getting angry and are prepared to send her babies to the book company any day now. ?  (Apparently she is starting to talk in third person when she gets angry too. ? )

 

What is that podcast about?

 

I have started to listen to some WoT YouTubers recently. The Dusty Wheel had a great episode about metaphysics in the WoT and also one about Nakomi. Both made me re-think some things about WoT, which is fun after all these years.

 

The Legendarium podcast is just a few guys talking about books/movies.

 

They did a series on WoT a few years ago. As well as all of Brandon Sanderson. Recently they just finished going back through LotR, and are almost done with the Dresden Files and the Expanse.

Interesting. Do you feel that you learn more by listening to them?

Definitely. They have this thing called the 3 levels of reading.

 

Level 1: just the flat enjoyment of the story/action.

Level 2: philosophy, or how it can change your life.

Level 3: social commentary.

Or, at least I think that's what they are.

I can see those as legitimate levels for viewing literature. I'm sure I've even thought of it in similar terms as I've read certain things.

Is it only me that find it a little annoying the posts are not attached with dates anymore? ? 

 

 

Also most importantly, some fab spam:

Ooo! I don’t know. Maybe we should have a party befitting the insanity of the BT? 

Indeed....

 

I like the idea of a party....

Should we make a new thread for it? @Lavandula?

HA! I think we’re clear for a party. I don’t know of a way to multiply people, but we could let our voices out. Or just tag a ton of people.
