Description
Waddup, book nerds! This week our special guest Josh Gondelman (Desus & Mero, Last Week Tonight, Billy On The Street) made us read Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard. “Book One” of Scientology spent 28 weeks as a NYT bestseller after it was released in 1950. That’s pre-becoming-a-religion!! But why? Mean Book Club breaks it down.Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, 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 (almost) every Tuesday!If you want to read along with us during our 5th season, here’s the reading list:* Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding
* How To Win Friends by Dale Carnegie
* Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus by John Gray
* Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (Part 1 & Part 2)
