Book Clubs on Saturn

By Jason Boog 

Book clubs have finally achieved cinematic recognition. In one of the strangest media events in recent memory, CBS teamed up with Saturn to produce a web video series about four women who skip book club and have adventures with Saturn vehicles.

The premiere episode could become a campy favorite among web video collectors of the future–featuring a bit of gratuitous product placement and an Ernest Hemingway novel.

The eight episode Novel Adventures series will feature a different book each time, taking the women to exciting places as they ditch book club together. Read all about it: “The series was created by Jonathan Prince, whose credits include A&E’s ‘The Cleaner’ and CBS’ ‘Cane.’ Prince said he was asked by Saturn to create the series as a means to promote its new line of cars, and then brought the idea to CBS.”

Best of all, gives GalleyCat readers a chance to answer the burning question: Which book should the heroines of the Saturn/CBS series skip reading next?
