Description
Hey book nerds! This week Colin O’Brien (Just For Laughs) and Michael Wolf (Comedy Central, MTV), hosts of the Literati podcast, forced us to read Congo by Michael Crichton. This book spent 12 weeks on the NYT bestseller list in 1980 and was later adapted to a movie in 1995 (unfortunately not starring Sean Connery). 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)
* I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max
* Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard
* Congo by Michael Crichton
