With the final installment of Harry Potter hitting theaters this Summer, and Oprah's book club coming to a close, it's pretty clear that reading, as an institution, is over. It had a good run: thousands of years, requisite for human history and progress, blah blah, blah, we get it, it's finished.

Unless, of course, a beloved comedian, specifically Norm Macdonald, emerges from the wasteland that is Twitter and starts a new book club, located @NormsBookClub, founded on the principles of combining arbitrary characters that follow a series of universally-accepted rules to articulate internal thoughts that can then be mass-produced and consumed.

Norm's Book Club has nearly 4,000 ostensibly literate followers, and June 23 will mark the opening week of official discussion– first up is Robert Penn Warren's "All The King's Men." In the words of Norm, "Until the discussion begins we will talk of all things literary." And so they have; Norm's been retweeting his favorite responses for 'best opening line' from classics like Moby Dick, To The Lighthouse, The Old Man and the Sea and other non-nautically themed titles.

Norm has subverted Twitter, literature's greatest enemy (other than fire), and ignited a fresh fervor for 'books.' When he asked his followers who the most overrated author of all time was, the apparently voracious reader 'raz1977' tweeted passionately, "Harper Lee. 1 book and done bitch! C'mon!" Norm has done the impossible. People want more books. Raz1977 demands to kill at least two mockingbirds with one stone. On behalf of high school English teachers everywhere, thank you Norm.

Sports Show with Norm Macdonald airs Tuesdays at 10:30/9:30c.
