-Guys, it is summer,
and I'm always looking for a good book to read, okay?
A good beach read, okay?
Now, in the past, we've done contests on the show.
We'd pick a few books and then vote on which one to read.
But this year, we're not doing that.
-What?
-We're doing things a little different.
I made a decision this year. -What?
-I just picked a book.
I chose -- I'm doing a book club.
This is -- We're all doing the book club.
Yeah. Yeah. Everyone. Roots, everybody.
-You got it? -Mandatory book club.
-Oh! -Yeah.
That's the way we do it here. This year, it's mandatory.
-We have to read it? -You have to read it.
-Aw! -Yeah.
-Can somebody read it to me? -No, this one's fantastic.
I picked it out. It's a good one.
I love it.
It involves -- It's a love story.
-Love it. -You love love?
-Yeah.
-About two kids that -- They love each other.
It's in the '90s.
They create a video game together.
-Oh!
-And then it just gets -- Yeah, exactly, yeah.
It is called "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow"
by Gabrielle Zevin, everybody.
This is the book. [ Cheers and applause ]

It's officially the very first book
in our brand-new Fallon Book Club.
-Ooh. -Look at that.
We have a sticker. Look at the sticker.
Can we zoom in?
[ Cheers and applause ] Oh, yeah!
-Oh, man! FBC!
-That's as much as we could zoom in?
-FBC!
-It feels like the camera zoomed in a little bit, then stopped.
-We can't afford that.
-Yeah! Look at that. That's tight.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But look -- Just holding it looks cool.

[ Rhythmic clapping ]
Okay. I can't wait. This is -- -Beach!
-It's got everything you want in this thing.
This is the summer read, the Fallon Book Club.
This is the jam right here.
It says here, "A dazzling and intricately imagined novel
that imagines the nature of identity, failure,
the redemptive possibilities in play, and, above all,
our need to connect, to be loved, and to love.
Yes, it is a love story,
but it is not one you have read before."
-Ooh! [ Audience "Oohs" ]
-So, here's how this works. [ Laughter ]
-Wow. -That was good, right?
-Yeah.
-I'm going to be reading this over the next few weeks,
and if you want to read along with me,
pick up a copy wherever books are sold
or go to your local library.
I'll be posting my updates on my socials
about where I'm at in the book, what I think of it.
And then we're going to have the author, Gabrielle Zevin,
on the show to talk about the book.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's a book club. -Hey!
-Some people don't know about book clubs.
-No, never.
-I ain't gonna join no book club.
-What?
-I don't want to join no book club.
-Well, here, try this book. -What the heck?
-It's called "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow."
-I like this book.
I'm going to be in more book clubs.
-I'm going to be in way more...
