The Best Show Reading List (Books Mentioned/Plugged)
« 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, 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. 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. If you're on Facebook you should check out the FOT Book Club.

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...

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!
