en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iun 2014
"Dear Luke, We Need to Talk, Darth" is proof that a funny book on pop culture doesn't have to be snide and nasty. I loved everything about it. Jim Gaffigan
We all know how Darth Vader shared his big secret with Luke Skywalker, but what if he had delivered the news in a handwritten note instead? And what if someone found that letter, as well as all of the drafts that landed in the Dark Lord s trash can? In the riotously funny collection "Dear Luke, We Need to Talk. Darth, " John Moe finally reveals these lost notes alongside all the imagined letters, e-mails, text messages, and other correspondences your favorite pop culture icons never meant for you to see.
From "The Walking Dead" to "The Wizard of Oz, " from Billy Joel to "Breaking Bad, " no reference escapes Moe s imaginative wit and keen sense of nostalgia. Read Captain James T. Kirk s lost log entries and Yelp reviews of The Bates Motel and Cheers. Peruse top secret British intelligence files revealing the fates of Agents 001 006, or Don Draper s cocktail recipe cards. Learn all of Jay-Z s 99 problems, as well as the complete rules of Fight Club, and then discover an all-points bulletin concerning Bon Jovi, wanted dead or alive and much more.
Like a like a bonus track to a favorite CD or a deleted scene from a cult movie, "Dear Luke, We Need to Talk" Darth offer a fresh twist on the pop culture classics we thought we knew by heart. You already know part of their story. Now find out the rest."

Recenzii

""Dear Luke, We Need to Talk, Darth" is proof that a funny book on pop culture doesn't have to be snide and nasty. I loved everything about it." --Jim Gaffigan

"John Moe has been making me laugh for 1,249 years (we are both immortal), and "Dear Luke" is, not surprisingly, EXTREMELY FUNNY. I expect him to entertain us all for another 1,249, unless I am able to hunt him down and cut off his head before then, because there can be only one." --John Hodgman

""Dear Luke, We Need to Talk. Darth" ranks among the finest collections of nonsense ever assembled. For those seeking hilarity in short bursts of pop culture inanity, this book is for you." --Michael Ian Black

This book of brilliant parodies, riffs and flights of pop culture fantasy shows why John Moe has so quickly risen to become the second funniest man in public radio.--Peter Sagal, host, NPR's Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me

"This book made me laugh while learning, which is the best kind of funny. Knowledge that comes from a laugh is so much better than coughing that comes from a laugh."
--Margaret Cho
