i think it was theodore roosevelt who said it best, "my good chums, let's start us a book club! BULLY!" or maybe it was agatha christie. i dunno. however, the underlining principle of the above quote is that hey, man, book clubs are the new black. they're the new kangol hat or the new high top. i can garauntee you right now that you will be the coolest kid on your block (or rather, "kids") if you join in a book club, which are springing up like warts on a toad-licker. gather your compadres together, pick a book, and go to town (proverbially speaking)! what's better than sitting around with your buddies saying, "yeah, arnold was an interesting supporting character for the subplot, but he's still a moron." stuff like that. plus, if you register your book club here at your local urban bookstore (OH MY GOSH THAT'S US) you get a whopping 20% off your group's book. of course, that's only if you like awesome deals. i know i do. quite.

also, there's a book coming out in october called "Fanboy and Gothgirl" by barry lyga, and it is just fabulous, especially if A) you are a comics geek, B) you are a gaiman goth, or C) you were a wallflowered geek in high school. how do i know how it was good if it hasn't been released yet? 'cause i gots advanced reading copies, chums. w00t.
