<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Live Like a Vulcan, Love Like a Wookiee, Laugh Like a Hobbit invites readers to a never-before-seen and slightly skewed look at the most memorable moments in films, shows, books, comic books, graphic novels, and video games. By the end of this pop-culture tour, fans of all ages will be given more inside knowledge than could ever be gotten at a comic convention, more self-help tools than can fit into any utility belt, more treasures than can be found in a cave of wonders, and more smiles than can be seen on any joker's face"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>Much like a dragon-guarded mountain filled with stolen dwarf gold, Pop Culture is far more than just a side quest or afternoon's entertainment: it contains a veritable treasure trove overflowing with life lessons. </b></b> <p/>If there's one takeaway from more than 40 years of <i>Scooby-Doo</i> mysteries, it's that the vast majority of life's villains are old white men using literal scare tactics to hold on to whatever privilege they have; <i>Stranger Things</i> taught us that any group of bike-riding kids are either running from or toward a vast governmental conspiracy;<i> The Wizard of Oz</i> proved that fashion can only take you so far; <i>The Lord of the Rings</i> showed us not only about the power of statement jewelry but that gifts come with strings attached; and <i>Jaws</i> was evidence that no matter how prepared you think you are, you should always expect the unexpected. <p/>This modern-day fable takes the best elements of <i>My Dinner With Andre</i>, <i>The Big Bang Theory</i>, and <i>How to Make Friends and Influence People</i>, to tell the story of three cosplaying friends sharing what they have learned from their favorite (and hated) movies, series, and games in a cafe after a day of walking the halls of a convention center. <br> <i><br></i><i><b><i>Live</i> Like a Vulcan, <i>Love</i> Like a Wookiee, <i>Laugh</i> Like a Hobbit </b></i>invites readers to a never-before-seen and slightly skewed look at the most memorable moments in films, shows, books, comic books, graphic novels, and video games.
