Book Snub

We’re finally here, snubbing Twilight. This book takes us to meet Bella Swan as she complains about moving to the town of Forks, WA. There she meets the Cullens– which she describes as beautiful but also repeatedly says that they are deathly pale with super dark circles under their eyes so that doesn’t match up. She starts to hang out with Edward, who is totally not manipulative and creepy towards her at all, and she learns that he might be a *spoiler* vampire.

In this episode, we finish up Ready Player One. Wade tries to flirt with Art3mis via creepy action-describing asterisks in a chat, and ultimately she says she isn’t interested in him while jiggling on the anti-gravity dance floor. Unfortunately, Wade does get back in contact with her and his other friends as he races to solve the nerd puzzle.

This time on Book Snub, we read the ultimate greasy gamer bro book: Ready Player One. In a world where society is falling apart, one billionaire dies and decides to donate all his money to one singular person because no one cares about improving society I guess. Whoever solves his video game easter egg riddle based on 80’s nerd culture gets everything. Luckily for him, the person who gets in the lead is a like-minded individual who also doesn’t give a shit about society. Let’s go.

Jazz finally decided to edit an episode and now you may witness as we continue to read Divergent and follow the adventures of Tris as having more than one personality trait starts to be more dangerous for her and her boyfriend, whose real name is definitely not Angus.

Finally we arrive at the YA Dystopia genre to snub Divergent by Veronica Roth. We meet Tris, who has the amazing, unique quality of having more than one personality trait in this world where everyone is divided into snitches, nerds, hippies, hot topic, and depression.

We finally finish Paper Towns, following the insufferable Quentin on his repetitive journey through not being able to interpret Walt Whitman.

This week, we finally live out our dream of complaining about John Green and one of his manic pixie dream girl novels, which is to say one of his novels. Join us as we read Paper Towns and see inside the minds of characters who are so above it all, on another level of deep thinking no one else can achieve– such as still thinking you can suck the venom out of a snake bite.

This week, it’s smell or be smelled with Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Follow the Smellman through the stinkiest country in the world, France, and witness as he tries to finally go from only smelling others to finally being smelled. Take a fucking sniff, babes.

This week, we trash Ray Blueberry’s “Classic” Fahrenheit 451, which includes terrible world-building and spider toasters, but books are forbidden! Never fear, though, loose stacks of paper are totally allowed!
