We’re back, book freaks! This week we read: A Game Of Thrones, the first of George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy series now turned into hit HBO TV Show. The book was released in 1996, but did not reach #1 on the New York Times bestseller list until July 2011, following the release of HBO’s adaptation. It is currently #11 on the list. But WHY?

Mean Book Club is four ladies (from UCB-NY, HuffPost, 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 every Tuesday!
