Blacktop Wasteland – Book Club Questions

Welcome to the Buddy Book Club – we have a light-hearted comedic podcast that covers a variety of books. We just finished Blacktop Wasteland by S.A. Cosby and really enjoyed it. If you’re interested, you can catch our podcast on the book or our Make it a Movie blog.

Our book club questions try to be a little more outside the box/comedic than your typical book club questions – hopefully you enjoy them.

Book Club Questions – Blacktop Wasteland

->There was a ton of analogies, metaphors and similes in this book did you have a favorite?

Some of ours were “Guns are like good friends that are always down to do bad things” and “his hairline was retreating like Lee at Gettysburg”

-> Do you have anything of sentimental value that you wouldn’t part with for $25k?

The Duster is a nice car and I understand wanting to hold on to it, but $25k is $25k.

-> Who was worse Beauregard’s Mom or Dad?

I think his mom is pretty insufferable and weighing adult Beauregard down more than his dad did. What skills did he get from his mom?

-> Is the Duster the best name for a car of all time? What have you named your cars in the past?

I had an old big maroon Cadillac in high school – everyone referred to it as the ‘pimp mobile’ cause of how many ladies it got me (okay this is completely made up, I did have this car though).

-> What tattoos have you seen that indicate an immediate red flag?

Ronnie’s full arm sleeve of Elvis tattoos should have been a dead giveaway that he is not someone to be trusted.

-> Who would you want playing the characters in a movie?

Check out our Make it a Movie blog for inspiration.

-> Who was your least favorite character – Quan (fucks up heist gets innocent guy killed), Ronnie (kills Kelvin), Lazy (tries to kill Beauregard family)?

Easy answer for us – Kelvin was our favorite character, I was stunned when he was suddenly killed, Ronnie immediately became enemy #1 after that.

-> Should Beauregard have immediately killed off Quan and Ronnie after the heist?

A la Goodfellas after the Lufthansa heist
