Tune in or listen online every Sunday from 5am-6am to hear Book Club with Michael Smerconish featuing great authors and their books hear on the Michael Smerconish Morning Show and live at Book Club events.
Book Clubs are the rage of the nation. If Oprah’s doing it, it must be big. And when you think Oprah, you think bald white guy from Philadelphia… Well, maybe not exactly. Not to be outdone, Michael’s Book Clubs have become a who’s who of the New York Times Best Seller’sList. From Washington to Hollywood, The Michael Smerconish Book Club has it all.
"I have always wanted to launch a Book Club to provide the more serious readers in the morning show audience with a chance to get to-gether with one another and meet authors. With a spectacular, sold-out launch on May 12, 2005, featuring Nelson DeMille, we were off and running. DeMille was top shelf and wowed a standing room only crowd on the Book Club Inauguration. He spoke at length about facts surrounding the downing of TWA flight 800 and then explained how he wove fictitious elements into the real plotline to create best seller Night Fall. His appearance was more than I could have asked for. “
