Movie Night: Mortal Kombat

1995 · Dir. Paul W.S. Anderson · It's Always This One

Every club has it's favorite movie, and the WP Book Club is no exception. Movie night is ALWAYS the 1995 Mortal Kombat. No exception, no rotation, and also, we never actually watch it. Thanks entirely to Walter.

Card 04 The Book List

Gateway

Frederik Pohl
Club Rating ~7/10

The club enjoyed this one. The ending sparked the most discussion: it leaves the reader to decide how things really land, and your answer depends on how you feel about Robinette Broadhead.

Alas, Babylon

Pat Frank
Club Rating ~5/10

A Cold War survival classic set in a small Central Florida town. The club enjoyed it well enough — a solid, if not standout, read.

Card 07 About the Club

Founded in 2009 in Winter Park, Florida, this club started the way most good ones do — in wine rooms and living rooms, with too much talk about the book and not enough about the wine (or the reverse, depending who you ask). One especially memorable host's basement earned the permanent nickname the Thunderdome, and the name stuck long after we stopped meeting there.

Members have since scattered across the country and the world, so these days we meet virtually over Discord — same arguments about endings, same running jokes, just more time zones to coordinate.
