The Lazy Book Club is a virtual book club where TechnoRetro Dads, SuperFriends, and EarBuds can talk about audio books they’ve “lazy read.”
Four years ago, SuperFriend Jamie joined shazbazzar and JediShua to discuss Ernest Cline’s bestselling novel, Ready Player One, in the first three meetings of the Lazy Book Club.
Flashback to the Ready Player One Lazy Book Club
With just a couple weeks until Ready Player One hits theaters, shazbazzar and JediShua are here with over two hours of hype for the movie with SuperFriend and co-host of TRON: Decoding the Grid JAMIE! (And, by the way, if you haven’t set your clock forward an hour by now, you’re probably late for work, so…)

Lazy Book Club
Four years ago this month, TechnoRetro Dads aired the first three meetings of the Lazy Book Club with Jamie, long-time SuperFriend and co-host of TRON: Decoding the Grid. It took three (segments and EarBuds) to cover Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One four years ago, and we’re not sure we could do any better even now! So if you’re not avoiding potential spoilers and you want to revisit the book with some friends, tune in for two hours of the Lazy Book Club from March 2014.
