Live Like a Vulcan Love Like a Wookiee Laugh Like a Hobbit

<b>Much like a dragon-guarded mountain filled with stolen dwarf gold Pop Culture is far more than just a side quest or afternoon&#146;s entertainment: it contains a veritable treasure trove overflowing with life lessons. </b><br><br>If there&#146;s one takeaway from more than 40 years of <i>Scooby-Doo</i> mysteries it&#146;s that the vast majority of life&#146;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.&#160;<br> <br>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.&#160;<br> <i><br><b><i>Live</i> Like a&#160;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. 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&#146;s face.
