A few friends read some books and tell some inappropriate jokes. Occasionally, some of the riffs are actually funny. Along the way we unintentionally review a novel or two.

We skipped a few for this one. Our Halloween special has Connor telling us all about a tale of the undead inCemetery Dance.

UnWholly

In the dark future of a scientific endeavor gone wrong, one child terrorist continues his war. Were we fools to dream only of the good that could be done by splitting children into parts to harvest for organs? Fletcher drags us deep into purgatory with this follow up, neither heaven or hell. The most middlingof all sequels…Unwholly.

Escaping Home

Remedial Lit ·

2025/08/01

Returning to prove once again that only traditional American values can save the day, our hero Backpack Guy shows us what it means to be prepared. Mostly, that consists of sitting in the woods while everyone else does the actual work of putting society back together, but occasionally it also includes making breakfast. Now running from the government, we anxiously await to see how Morgan and his merry band of Yes Men (and Women) will escape the evil clutches of the United States government.

The Strain

Remedial Lit ·

2025/05/01

Admittedly, we ramble a bit on this one. Vampires, machetes, pumas...this book has it all. From the twisted mind of Guillermo Del Toro, this novel covers the darkness in the heart of humanity. At least the hearts that have been infested with worms. Joined by special guest star Zach we delve deep into....The Strain

Ghosts of Manhattan

Remedial Lit ·

2025/04/01

Steampunk and superheroes take the stage as we examine George Mann's Ghosts of Manhattan. Doing our best to put the pieces together, Ghost does his best during this murder mystery to take the bad guys apart in gruesome detail. A tale of power plants, exploding flechettes and over complicated automobiles, this one reinforces that maybe Marvel isn't the most convoluted comic universe.

To Have and to Heist

Remedial Lit ·

2025/03/01

We increase the diversity of our collection with a novel that isn't about fungus or time dilation. With her friend framed for the theft of a valuable treasure, Simi must join forces with a thief to discover the real culprit and steal the necklace back. Ripping off an amazing genre of film, this novel dives into the classic character tropes of the heist. You know, the same way a guy can dive head first into a swimming pool....at the shallow end.

A screenwriter's daring attempt at a novel, Cold Storage reminds us why we do what we do here at Remedial Lit. Set almost entirely in a storage facility, our colorful and quirky cast quickly discover a dark secret buried deep by the government.

City of Bones

Remedial Lit ·

2025/01/01

We're joined by a guest as we cover the YA supernatural thriller, City of Bones. It's a tale as old as time. Girl likes boy, boy likes girl, they get attcked by the most non-threatening demons of all time. Boy turns into a rat? It makes more sense in context. Starting off the new year strong with this one.

Unwind

Remedial Lit ·

2024/12/01

We explore a post civil war America in a series that absolutely is not about abortion. Delving deep into the story of Unwind, we visit a not-so-distant future where children are magically sawed to pieces for body parts and one tough teen strikes out for his survival. This book asks hard hitting questions like when does life truly start and what does it mean to have a soul. Fortunately for us, there's enoughcomedy material in this thing we just glossed over all that boring stuff.

Dracula

We tackle a legend among horror with our rendition of Dracula. Starting with some toilet humor, we eventually devolve into wild west action with a couple crackers thrown in. Following a story you probably know very well, we take the time to highlight some details you may have missed when reading the definitive vampire fiction.

Our final journey into the Pendergast series. Returning to New York we are introduced to a crime of the century, just not this century. Journey with us to the forgotten time of 2001 and we'll do our best to survive while a billionaire albino tries to crack this case.

Reliquary

Remedial Lit ·

2024/08/08

After taking some time to record some episodes, Connor continues our favorite lizard themed series. Continuing one FBI agent's hunt for the truth, our trusty albino billionaire may have more trouble than he's bargained for. We learn lots about logistics as well as botany in this sequel that shows just how far a talented pair of authors can really stretch an idea.

Relic

Remedial Lit ·

2024/06/05

We test our understanding of genetics and geography with the 90's techno-thriller Relic. Which is a fancy way of saying we make Connor tell us about it and I saw half the movie. With twists even dumber than you could expect, we get to travel through time to the R-rated cut of A Night at the Museum. Also there are possibly cat ghosts.

Inheritance

2024/05/14

I've got to quit using the word "explicitly". Back after we took some time to record our next series. Concluding our story with a long drawn out whimper rather than a bang, Eragon battles an evil king and saves the kingdom. Kind of. After a lot of feasts. Join us as we button up this tale and prove you really make any book novel length if you attach enough side stories.

Brisingr

Remedial Lit ·

2024/03/08

Joined by our upbeat friend Cole, as well as our evil dopplegangers at the end, we continue to explore the journey of Eragon through the third book in the Inheritance Cycle. This novel further elaborates on the political systems of the magical world that remind us why everyone loved the Star Wars Prequels. Then they remember they're in a fantasy universe and throw in some dragons at the end. Altogether, I'd say it's pretty buttoned up.

Eldest

Remedial Lit ·

2024/01/31

Eragon continues to stumble through the plot while his cousin desperately tries to salvage this sequel with courage, bravery and adventure. We somewhat stay on topic and ignore all those parts though to make sure we cover the elven politics. The training arc has begun, now we just have to stay awake for it.
