Flash Book Club - THE WEIRDNESS

Brazos Bookstore presents a Flash Book Club – THE WEIRDNESS on Sunday, May 18 at 2pm.

Join Brazos booksellers Mark Haber and Mary Allen for delicious fair-trade coffee and a lighthearted discussion of Jeremy P. Bushnell’s new novel, THE WEIRDNESS.

What do you do when you wake up hung over and late for your job making sandwiches only to find a stranger on your couch? And what if that stranger turns out to be an Advesarial Manifestation – like Satan, say – who has brewed you a fresh cup of fair-trade coffee? And what if he offers you your life’s goal of making the bestseller list if only you find his missing Lucky Cat and, you know, sign over your soul?

If you’re Billy Ridgeway, you take the coffee.

THE WEIRDNESS is a smart, funny read — the perfect book for a pleasure-reader or someone who is in need of a fun reprieve from, well, whatever they need a reprieve from. We loved it and want to talk about it with you and your friends.

Melville House publishers enjoyed this book so much that they got their friends at the Brooklyn Roasting Company to make an accompanying coffee. We have tins of THE WEIRDNESS coffee for sale and we’ll have a bit of the brew percolating on the day of the book club.
