"Ready Player One" Book Club Ideas Part 2

“I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all of my life, right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real.”
― Ernest Cline, Ready Player One

Some good advice from Ernest Cline. We could all use this advice with all the technology we have now and how much all of us have our noses in a phone. Put your phone down and go find happiness. This book has so much it can offer to you and I often think back on it.

Okay now for some ideas for your book club of Ready Player One.

"Ready Player One" Book Club Ideas Part 1

We finally read the highly rated book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and I am so glad we did. This book was published in 2011 and I don't know why I didn't hear of it back then but now I recommend it to anyone who asks for a book suggestion. This was such a fun book and having grown up in the eighties I truly appreciated all the 80's references.

In the book Percival (the main character) went to a world where there was an exact replica of Happy Time Pizza, a favorite pizza joint with arcade games that James Halliday (the super smart gazillionaire who died and set up a treasure hunt to win all his money) went to as a kid. So what a perfect idea for the food for book club. I decided to have build your own pizzas. I provided the dough and had it ready to go for when people started to show up.
