This blog is for people who do not have thousands of hours to read book reviews or blurbs or first sentences. I will cut through all the cryptic crap, and give you the meat of the story in one condensed image. Now you can read the greatest literary works of all time in mere seconds!

A new Better Book Title will be posted every weekday. Every Friday a reader's submission will be posted. Redesign and titles by Dan Wilbur unless credited otherwise. Please use proper credits when reprinting.

The First Better Book Club Recording

danwilbur:

In case you missed the first Better Book Club, here is a recording of the show with Adam Ross (author of Mr. Peanut), Christian Finnegan (Comedy Central, VH1), and Kambri Crews (author of Burn Down the Ground).

The show includes stand-up by me and Christian, and a panel discussion of Adam’s book.

Thanks to Anya Garrett for recording and editing the show. Also a special thanks to Amanda Bullock for helping to put the show together at Housing Works Bookstore. Music: Kevin Macleod.
