Anomalous Readings

Episode Notes We're back! It's been a while, but you know how life goes! This month we read Dune...this was meant to be a far less topical episode, but you can't argue with Final Fantasy. Come with us on a journey to the desert planet...and beyond, as we gaze into the void that is Kevin J Anderson.

Episode Notes Hello hello, and welcome back to Anomalous Readings! This month, we read our first title from renowned science fiction author Isaac Asimov. It's Foundation! This is the one that really kicked off Nora's dive into sci-fi a couple years ago, so it's been nice to reread it! Join us next month for Dune by Frank Herbert!

Episode Notes We're back! After a strange October and a trying November, your favorite sci-fi duo returns to explore new frontiers of human cognition and warfare with Tomino's Mobile Suit Gundam light novels!

Episode Notes We're back again, this time with a guest! Friend of the show Mark is here to discuss Joanna Russ's 1975 book The Female Man! A truly unique work that throws out convention in perspective, structure, and style, this book was a bit more of a challenge than we really expected, but in the end I think we're all pretty satisfied with the experience.

Episode Notes Greetings, Anomalous Listeners! This month we reach a sort of low point for the podcast. Snow Crash, while influential is...bad. It's not a good time. Let's talk about it. Next month we're reading Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime by R. A. Salvatore.

Episode Notes This episode features discussion of a sexual assault from around 13:00 to 14:55. Greetings Anomalous Listeners! We're here once again to talk about some weird shit in space. This month it's Hyperion by Dan Simmons! Hyperion is...weird. But also really cool. But also, it's fundamentally about cumming. This one is a bit rowdy. Next month we're reading Snow Crash by Neal

Episode Notes We're back! Pardon the lawn mower noises near the end, I did my best. We're here once again to talk about a banger of a book! Join us as we descend to the bottom of the Pacific to investigate SPHERE. Strange space ships, black holes, psychic battles, we've got it all! Be sure to check out the patreon for our EXCLUSIVE patron-only Bonusode on Prometheus (2012) at patr

Episode Notes Welcome back! This month, we read Christopher Paolini's 880 page sci-fi epic, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars! Our longest and most contemporary work so far, it tells a big sweeping story about aliens, war, and alien wars. We had a good time, and I'm interested to see what the rest of Paolini's post-Eragon career is like. Join us again next month when we read Sphere by Mic

Episode Notes We're back with another banger! Roadside Picnic is truly just one of the all time greats. What an absolute delight. Next month we're swerving hard into doorstopper territory with To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini!
