I Have Restarted My Monthly Book Club
Good morning. I'm back in office after a few days at an
About the only good thing to come out of that suck ass Sun Valley Retreat last week was the commitment from a few of my fellow moguls to restart our Monthly Book Club.
The last book club meeting we had was a couple of years ago and it was a disaster.
As I recall, Carl Icahn crashed the meeting and threatened to wage a proxy war to take over all our companies but I promptly had him removed by security. [Editor's note: Mr. Manka, according to his own blog, actually invited Mr. Icahn to that meeting. But it is true that he had him removed by security.]
Poor, pathetic Carl is such a joke he's not even able to take over Lionsgate - the puniest of all the studios. So, sorry, Carl, you won't be getting an invite to my Mogul Book Club. RULE #1: YOU MUST BE A MOGUL. Harvey Weinstein will also not be getting an invite. Ben Silverman will be taking his place.
As I told my mogul friends (Bob Iger, Rupert Murdoch, Phillipe Dauman, et al) at The Drankin' Hole last week, our book selection is "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". Everyone seems to be talking about this Stieg Larsson guy (maybe Manka Bros. should hire him to write something) - so I think it will be a better selection than our last book - "Water For Elephants".
The meeting will be at Haim Saban's house one week from Sunday - so get your assistants to pick up the book and get reading!
To my Senior Management Team at Manka Bros., I suppose we should have some sort of meeting to see what the fuck is going on around here and why haven't had a hit movie this summer!

About Khan Manka, Jr.
Khan Manka, Jr. assumed the title of Chairman of the Board of Manka Bros. Studios - The World's Largest Media Company - following his father Harry Manka's death in 1976. Before that he was the member of several Southern California rock bands.
Stieg Larsson is dead you idiot.
I enjoyed it was a bit out of control. I would recommend it as a good beach read this summer.
Another outstanding book and one which is definitely reading is ‘CRYSTAL CLEAR’ by Eric Lemarque
Glad you made it back in one piece, Khan. I was completely grossed out by the sexual violence in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and won't be reading the newer ones. You guys go ahead and knock yourselves out.
Who knew all those guys could read? BUT YA KNOW!
Don't invite Ben Silverman! He's no mogul! He's a wannabe hack!
