If I Did It by O.J. Simpson with UCB's Michael Hartney

Waddup, book nerds! This week our special guest Michael Hartney (UCB’s Artistic Director, Broadway’s School of Rock, Comedy Central Comic to Watch) made us read If I Did It by The Goldman Family and O.J. Simpson. The original book was cancelled after it was announced in November 2006. In 2007, a bankruptcy court awarded the rights of the book to the Goldman family, who released it shortly after, where it spent five weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. But why? Mean Book Club breaks it down.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.
