ExplicitPaperweights 06: The Clown | Hosts: Chris, Matt and Gloria. Hey Everybody so this week we've lost our fearless leader Lance but fear not as Chris, Gloria and Matt take an in-depth and somewhat silly look at Heinrich Boll's "The Clown". A story taking place in Post WW2 Germany and how one man (The Clown) deals with how Germany moves forward but without remembering the horrible atrocities they committed during WW2. A great listen in my opinion. Check back in another month of Paperweights to hear our riveting discussion. Our next book was chosen by Gloria! Here it is, Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. | 9/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPaperweights 05: Reality Is Broken | Hosts: Chris, Lance, Matt and Gloria. Hey everybody so this week discussed Jane McGonigals Reality is Broken for Paperweights. the book deals with taking lessons from videos games and plugging them into real life. It was a unique read that for the first time in Paperweights history had all of us in agreement. This is the one book that may have us coming back for a recap, since I think the entire cast is curious to try and implement McGonigal's teachings into a real world setting. So download and listen to the episode and see if Lance, Gloria, Matt and me are crazy for liking this book. Our next book was chosen by Matt. Here it is, The Clown by Heinrich Boll. | 8/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPaperweights 04: The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress | Hosts: Chris, Lance, Matt and Gloria. We realize it's been quite a long time coming for this episode but it's worth it I swear! We were trying for weeks to get our schedules aligned so all four of us could do the show. Last week we thought we had it but as soon as we stopped recording Bonus Level Radio Matt's mic got all wonky and stopped working. After an exhaustive period of trying to get it to work we had to give up. So we thought that's fine we can do it next week! And we did! Except Matt couldn't join us. Which is sad. But I think we did a fine job without him! I'm going to try and convince him to post his thoughts on the book so he can still have his say. Hopefully we can get that soon! Until then enjoy this fine episode! Our next book was chosen by ME so you know it'll be awesome. Here it is, Reality Is Broken by Dr. Jane McGonigal! | 6/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPaperweights 03: The Man In The High Castle | Hosts: Chris, Lance, Matt and Gloria. Welcome to episode 3! Our second real episode! In a lot of ways we were not destined to do this episode. We were supposed to record it two weeks ago but had some scheduling issues. Thought we had them solved for last week but than different but very similar scheduling issues arose. So we finnally put them all behind us and go to discussing this book! But than halfway through Skype took a dump on us. Somewhere along the line we were getting throttled and the quality took a massive hit. We did our very best to resolve these issues and moved ahead but as you can hear it isn't our finest hour. The book itself was interesting and if you are inclined to read it you can. But if not we discuss it here for you! Enjoy! Our next book was chosen by Chris and is "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress". Robert A. Heinlein is amazing! | 5/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPaperweights 02: Lolita | Hosts: Chris, Lance, Matt and Gloria. Welcome to episode 2! This is our first real episode of this series as we dive into discussing our first book, Lolita. It's a great discussion of the book and I think an enjoyable one even if you haven't read the book. But if you were thinking of reading the book you should be forewarned that we do spoilers. Hard to not talk about the book without doing that. So if you have been reading along with us this month give it a listen! Our next book was chosen by Gloria and is "The Man In The High Castle" by Phillip K. Dick. I've already started it and it's a good read! | 3/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
