Super Fun Geeky Reads

With deft humor and clever pop culture references, “geeky” reads have a huge appeal to many readers. Check out these fun favorites …

Everyone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too : a book / by Jomny Sun

Everyone’s a aliebn when ur a aliebn too: a book by Jomny Sun

A lost, lonely and confused alien finds friendship, acceptance, and love among the creatures of Earth, and teaches us all how to be a little more human.

Funny and sad, simple and complex, badly spelled and beautifully written, Jomny Sun gets more out of a panel than most do out of a page, revealing obvious yet hidden truths as only someone one step out of step could. – Joss Whedon

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero

With raucous humor and brilliantly orchestrated mayhem, Meddling Kids delivers an exuberant and wickedly entertaining celebration of horror, love, friendship, and many-tentacled, interdimensional demon spawn. A nostalgic and subversive story with sly nods to Scooby-Doo, H. P. Lovecraft and pop culture, this is a strikingly original and dazzling reminder of the fun and adventure we can discover at the heart of our favorite stories, no matter how old we get.

Squirrel meets world / Shannon Hale & Dean Hale

Squirrel Meets World: the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl by Shannon Hale

Fun, funny, and action-packed, deceptively packaged for kids, but a fantastic read for any Marvel-universe fan. Doreen Green, a peppy 14-year-old with a gorgeous tail (tactfully concealed) and secret squirrel powers, must find a way to cope with high school life, keep her superhero identity a secret, and defeat the diabolical son of Hydra agents, who insists on being her nemesis.

A film version directed by Stephen Spielberg is due out March, 2018.

Reincarnation blues : a novel / Michael Poore

Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore

Turns out we get ten thousand lives to answer all of life’s Big Questions and Achieve Wisdom. Milo has just five more lives to “get it right.” If he doesn’t, oblivion awaits. Every journey from cradle to grave offers Milo more pieces of the great cosmic puzzle–if only he can piece them together in time to finally understand what it means to be part of something bigger than infinity. As darkly enchanting as the works of Neil Gaiman and as wisely hilarious as Kurt Vonnegut’s, this is the story of everything that makes life profound, beautiful, absurd, and heartbreaking. Because it’s more than Milo’s story. It’s our story, too.
