On The Road by Jack Kerouac with Tonight Show's Jo Firestone

Waddup, book nerds! Our special guest Jo Firestone (The Tonight Show, Shrill, Dr. Gameshow) forced us to read On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Published in 1957, this NYT bestseller was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels. It’s an American classic. But why? WE MUST FIND OUT!

Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit. It's fun. It's cathartic. It's perfect for your commute. New podcast (almost) every Tuesday!
