Description

On this fictional episode of The Mana Pool, the dorks are taking a look at books that don't actually exist. Whether they're macguffins that drive the story, plot points that provide exposition or power to the protagonists (or antagonists), or a self-referential meta thing that makes your head hurt, fictional books have been important in fiction across all kinds of genres and mediums, and we're going to talk about a whole mess of them!

What's your favorite fictional book, whether we did or didn't cover it in the episode?

Come join us in the future! The show is live on Thursdays around 8pm(ish) Eastern time on Twitch.
