46. SSS 4: The Nightingale and the Rose
Another solo ep by yours truly, Cooper. This is a really great story that was meant to be discussed instead of monologued, but Cooper still turns it into a masterpiece episode.SUPPORT US HERE:https://patreon.com/bookinitSUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE:bookinitpod4@gmail.comTEXT US HERE!

43. SSS 1: A Sound of Thunder
In the first Summer Short Story episode, Cooper and Tanner talk about a time-travel short story by the author of Fahrenheit 451. They go down countless rabbit trails, spew legendary quotes from their respective yappers ("Every time-travel explanation almost makes sense"), and eventually time-travel back to actually talk about the darn story.

41. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Part 1
Soooooo.... book 5. The first part of Return of the King. Let's be honest: this book drags. A whole lot. Both Cooper and Tanner dropped off reading Lord of the Rings at this point. But its not all that bad... is it? Cooper and Tanner discuss. SUPPORT US HERE:https://patreon.com/bookinitTEXT US HERE!

40. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Part 2

39. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Part 1

38. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Part 2
Is Tolkien really great at suspense? Does Tolkien describe things too much? Are all the characters basically flat? Who was his editor? Will Matthew remember a single name of a person/beast/anything in LoTR? Join the (most likely) critically acclaimed Cooper and Matthew Show as they discuss these things in detail. Also, sorry to our new Patron, Anna! Cooper's audio kinda glitched out when he said your name. We really appreciate your support and will make sure your name is said right next time and in order to make up for it, we will write your name 38 times here; in honor of our 38th episode:Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna. Anna.
