Mythicality: the quality or state of being that embodies a synergistic coalescence of curiosity, creativity, and tomfoolery, ideally experienced in the context of friendship and intended to bring goodwill to the universe. See, it is a real word… at least on Urban Dictionary. This month we look at YouTube sensations Rhett & Link’s book about how they met and how their lifelong friendship has embodies mythicality and how you too can become a mythical beast.

Ep 7 - You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

Being a geek these days is pretty sweet but it didn't always used to be that way. We were shunned for liking certain things and perhaps a little socially awkward. No, you're weird! Thank goodness we have awesome geeks like Felicia Day to help make geek chic. This month we discuss her memoir and share some of our own geeky coming of age stories. We also announce our next book for May; 1984 by George Orwell.

Ep 5 - The Princess Diarist

For a large portion of the population when you ask them about "their princess" they will probably respond with Diana. But for us geeks and nerds "our princess" will always be Leia. In honor of Carrie Fisher's passing, we read her last book, The Princess Diarist, where she recounts her time during the filming of the original Star Wars trilogy. Told only the way she could, it's sassy, funny and down to earth. May the Force be with her... always. We also announce our next book for March; Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Graham-Smith.
