I was just wondering if anyone had read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I've had the book on my Kindle for six months, but just go around to reading it a couple weeks ago and loved it. It's full of 80's references, and actually the entire plot is built around the 80's in a strange way. 

I've heard about it, but never actually read it. It has a lot of positive press.

No, but funny you should ask because I was just thinking about it last night.

I have the book and so far I love it.

It's been announced that Steven Spielberg will direct the movie adaptation. I'm so excited!

My reaction when I saw that

The trailer dropped today and I'm definitely making a rare appearance to the theater to see it. Seeing the DeLorean racing around sealed the deal. Gotta read the book first though.

I read that Warner Bros. had already signed a deal for the film rights before the book had even been published. That's odd.

It isn't unheard of in the industry. It's rare, but it does happen.

That trailer made me tear up with how great it looked and how accurate they are trying to keep it.
