The perfect gift for anyone who embraces the joy of fandom and
geeking out, this collection of essays celebrates the fans of Star
Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, Lord of the Rings,
and much more. Pop Culture and sci-fi guru Ryan Britt has never met
a monster, alien, wizard, or superhero that didn't need further
analysis. Essayist Ryan Britt got a sex education from dirty
pictures of dinosaurs, made out with Jar-Jar Binks at midnight, and
figured out how to kick depression with a Doctor Who Netflix-binge.
Alternating between personal anecdote, hilarious insight, and smart
analysis, Luke Skywalker Can't Read contends that Barbarella is
good for you, that monster movies are just romantic comedies with
commitment issues, that Dracula and Sherlock Holmes are total
hipsters, and, most shockingly, shows how virtually everyone in the
Star Wars universe is functionally illiterate. Romp through time
and space, from the circus sideshows of 100 years ago to the Comic
Cons of today, from darkest corners of the Galaxy to the comfort of
your couch. For anyone who pretended their flashlight was a
lightsaber, stood in line for a movie at midnight, or dreamed they
were abducted by aliens, Luke Skywalker Can't Read is full of
answers to questions you haven't thought to ask, and perfect for
readers of Chuck Klosterman, Rob Sheffield, and Ernest Cline. "Ryan
Britt is . . . the Virgil you want to guide you through the inferno
of geekery." -Lev Grossman, author of the bestselling Magician's
trilogy
