Nerdy Show Book Club :: Episode 11 :: Read ‘Til You Puke!
From the pages of Nerdy Show – it’s Nerdy Show Book Club! In these literary episodes, we share the books we’re currently reading, do dramatic readings from the best and worst nerd literature, talk with notable geek authors, and discuss a book we’ve read along with the community.
It’s been an eon since Nerdy Show Book Club last convened and we’re backed up with awesome books to talk about! We’re rekindling the Book Club flame – not just as a returning segment of Nerdy Show, but as its own standalone program. Join Cap and Colin for this catch-up episode where they share their favorite reads from this unexpected hiatus.
We’ve got follow-up discussions from our interviews with Michael Grant (Animorphs, BZRK) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, Rain of the Ghosts), heavy reading, hard-boiled pulp stories, and a dramatic reading of 90s literary masterpiece: Gooflumps: Eat Cheese and Barf! So click on the reading lamp, catch up on our belated community read-along, and crack open this new episode of Book Club!
Next Episode’s Read-Along Book: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman | Discuss on the Forums
