Monster you'd most like to have as a member of your book club. (tell us why in the comments, please)

@UncleVinny well played

@UncleVinny Snack Attack!

@UncleVinny I clicked the “something else” option and came here to comment that a ghost is better than all the proposed things because there’s a lot of questions a ghost could answer, like are there ghost books?

Then I saw your answer and thought a cookie monster is better than a ghost.

But then I remembered a cookie monster doesn’t make or bring cookies, just eats them and makes a mess, so I stand by my ghost. Or around it.

A skeleton is also better than all the proposed things, because skeletons are always happy and do a dance.

Also I have both a skeleton and a ghost inside me right now, but no mummies, zombies etc. So it’d be easy to carpool with them to the book club.

@UncleVinny so much for snacks at the meetings

@ravenblack whattabout scary ghosts, tho? And whattabout creepy skeletons that, instead of dancing, rush clattering at you from closets you thought were empty?

@UncleVinny I mean, you wouldn’t invite one of the scary ones, right? There are terrible non-monster people too, and I also wouldn’t want to share a book club with one of those.

I suppose it depends on the rules of the question, is it like a monkey paw where you say you want a ghost and you get stuck with the worst possible ghost, or is it like actually inviting a thing to a book club, where you’d only invite the ones you’d actually want to hang out with.

@UncleVinny Even worse than a scary ghost would be a Patrick Swayze pottery-sexualizing ghost.

@UncleVinny For some reason I’d expect to hear “Eaten any good books recently”.

@billyrogers And werwolves are really only difficult a few days a month. And I’ll leave that there.

@billyrogers - I don’t know anything about werewolves’ taste in literature, but I’m sure they’d find YOU have excellent taste!

@LisaMJo ugh

@LisaMJo WARNING: Dad joke contamination

@nogoodwithnames You have to have an excuse? Noob

@baqui63 Not sure if napping would be the best idea.

@baqui63 @mehcuda67 - Yeah, I have a feeling it’d be hard to keep a vampire’s mouth shut, and they’d drain the spirit out of everything. In fact I’d stake my life on it!

@lilsrm123 - In the book, Frankenstein’s monster read Milton’s Paradise Lost an wouldn’t shut up about it. The problem is that he was a whiner who was always complaining and obsessed with his appearance.

@lilsrm123 yeah but a vampire would probably say really pretentious things and showing off how much he knows like “You thought Carver/Lish was a controversy? You should have seen Shakespeare’s editor!”

@Barney Yeah! …Wait…what?

@Shinmaru So, is that a good or a bad thing?

@mehcuda67 good for story telling, bad for your sanity

@RiotDemon Yeah, but then it would really crimp your snacking choices and when you could meet. Though you could fly to the meeting and that would be cool.

@rainbowharold wankity wank

@sherbertzius - It would be interesting to have the opportunity to pick a mummy’s brains.

@sherbertzius an immortal Romanian wouldn’t have insight on things in literature?

@trickynick Yeah I’m sure they would, but still, European history is more well preserved than Egyptian. I’ve heard plenty of old dead European guy hot literature takes, I want to hear a mummies!

@trickynick - the way I heard it, Vlad had a certain territory staked out and wasn’t too sharp outside it.
