Title: The Best Show Reading List (Books Mentioned/Plugged)
Post by: CakeRabbit on July 16, 2014, 10:04:27 PM
I really enjoyed many books mentioned and/or read by Tom or his guests on The Best Show. Anyone want to help compile a list of books either promoted or recommended on air? Or even discussed on other media by Tom or Jon Wurster... I heard JW on a podcast (I want to say The Fogelnest Files) mention The Disaster Artist (http://www.amazon.com/Disaster-Artist-Inside-Greatest-Movie/dp/1451661193/), and I binge-read it in a day! I think they're both avid readers, and I like their taste in books.

Just to kick things off, here's Julie Klausner's I Don't Care About Your Band (http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Care-About-Your-Band/dp/1592405614/). Let's get some reading done before the rebooted Best Show consumes all our time again!

...But not Rich Dad, Poor Dad again. ;)

Jon reads a lot of music bios. He often mentions what he's reading on Twitter (https://twitter.com/jonwurster). If you're on Facebook you should check out the FOT Book Club (https://www.facebook.com/groups/767914569903938/).

I've always appreciated how Tom and Jon have included numerous book references/discussions/plugs etc., to/for all manner & stripe of books- btw how am I only now becoming aware of the FOT book club? I will have to check it out/join it ASAP...

Because it's barely mentioned here?

Well, yeah... I see now how I walked in to that comment/response... just trying to comment my way, appropriately, to 50 comments and beyond, without relying on the post burning thread... you know, the old fashioned way...
