1st printing. By Ryan Britt. A smart, funny, and provocative dish on sci-fi and pop culture topics, which range from why robots are so passé to how everyone in the Star Wars universe is illiterate. Luke Skywalker Can't Read is a thoughtful and fun meditation on everything geek. Writer and performer Ryan Britt has never met a monster, alien, wizard, or superhero that didn't need further analysis. Alternating between hilarious personal anecdotes and provocative insights, Britt explains everything: why monster movies are just romantic comedies with commitment issues; how Dracula's sartorial style designates him as the first hipster, and much, much more. Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 224 pages, Text. Cover price $16.00.
