b'Waddup, book nerds! Our special guest for this ep is \\u201cDar\\u201d from Mission To Zyxx - Allie Kokesh! So naturally this week we read the sci-fi bestseller Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Released in 2011, this video game dystopian novel made it on the NYT bestseller list and was immediately optioned by Steven Spielberg for a movie, which was released in Spring 2018. But WHY?
Mean Book Club is four ladies (from UCB-NY, HuffPost, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit. It\'s fun. It\'s cathartic. It\'s perfect for your commute. New podcast every Tuesday!

- A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin
