This is the eighth episode of Library Pizza, a podcast about reading hosted by the guy writing this: Mike Meginnis.
This week, Tracy and I get together for a conversation on visual novels, especially The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. Other visual novels you might want to check out: the Danganronpa series, the Zero Escape series, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series, The House in Fata Morgana, Dream Daddy, The Walking Dead, Batman: The Telltale Series, and other Telltale games. Disco Elysium has a lot in common with visual novels, but the writing is better.
In the back half of the episode, Tracy and I discuss the books we're reading. Texts mentioned include Heretic by Jeanna Kadlec, God's holy Bible, the works of Eula Biss in general, Devil's Tango: How I Learned the Fukushima Step by Step by Cecile Pineda, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell (again!), and Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. Plus probably something else I'm forgetting.

My thanks to Tracy for the very dignified theme song, and my friend Blorb for the art.
