AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: FOR BOOK NERDS ONLY

NERD = THE NEW "COOL"
We all know this statement to be true.
Here at Route 1, we are going to relish the NERDINESS of dropping everything to read a COOL BOOK with the launch of... get ready for it.... here it comes...
The Route 1 BOOK NERD LEAGUE!
Yessss!!!
Every month, BOOK NERD LEAGUE captains from around the world will choose a book to read and discuss.
It will be just like the Oprah Book Club, only our books won't SUCK. They will ROCK!
The books could be fiction... could be non-fiction... heck, they can even be out-dated cookbooks as long as they keep us turning the pages.
We don't need bookworms -- people who stick their noses in a book and never make any social contact.
No, our LEAGUE members will stick their noses in a book and ALWAYS ENDLESSLY HARANGUE passersby about the book's (sometimes arcane) subject matter. Won't it be great?
Here is how it will work:
1) Route 1's crack team of BOOK NERDS will select that month's tome, post the book's title, author and a brief description, along with the ISBN number (just to show we really are BOOK NERDS).
2) People read the book.
3) Discuss this book with EVERYONE you see... preferably people in grocery stores and on street corners.
4) Drop us a line and we will compile comments about the book.
5) Rinse. Repeat.
It's just that easy!
We here at Route 1 have grand plans for the BOOK NERD LEAGUE. Along with fostering a snobbish attitude toward certain authors, we would like to get some of those zippered, corduroy jackets suitable for sewing on patches. We could get some really colorful BOOK NERD LEAGUE patches. Maybe colored stripes for the number of books read.
Hey! Why should those FFA cow-raisers have ALL the fun?!?!
Stay tuned for this month's book selection!
