Books

Book	Image	Description
Title: Go-On! Author: Manabu Akishige Released: December 20, 2007 (First Chapter)		The story revolves heavily around Rika Nagano (A popular high school girl and Weezer fan) gifting the main character, Ryo Katase, a signed copy of The Blue Album, prompting them to become closer romantically, and him and a friend to form a band together.
Title: Be More Chill Author: Ned Vizzini Released: June 1, 2004		Be More Chill is written in the first-person perspective of high school student Jeremy Heere. Michael Mell is Jeremy's music-loving best friend, and is canonically a big fan of Weezer. Multiple references to the band are made throughout the book. Quotes "What's bad? I totally know how it is. Did you say something dumb to her?" "Well, no, but people think I did. Which is basically the same thing." "No," Michael says, working on an orange ice cream bar now. "You doing something and people thinking that you did it are actually really different." "Well, people think I gave her a letter." Michael's body rocks. He grins: "'I've got your letter! / You've got my song--'" I punch him in the shoulder. "Ow!" "No Weezer, okay?" "I'll try." References lyrics to Across the Sea Michael puts some God-awful emo tape on. I look out the window as we roll away from the school. "Oh, I forgot, you hate this, right?" Michael asks, pointing at the music. "I can play Pinkerton." It's okay," I say. Michael can put on whatever music he wants (except maybe Pinkerton) because I love driving. Directly references Pinkerton The Halloween Dance doesn't happen at Middle Borough High School. It happens at a bar/dance hall near the poor section of Metuchen called the Elks Club Lodge, a place for old men to drink and play pool. I can't get to the Club by myself. It's almost in Edison, the next town over from Metuchen, and Michael really isn't going because he's listening to the new Weezer album. Based on the release date, the "new Weezer album" referenced would most likely be Make Believe "Chilling out, listening to music." "Michael, you do that every weekend." "Yeah..." He stews for a while. I click the mouse. "How about you do something different? Come with me down to the bowling alley. It'll be fun." "Okay, see--" Michael has a lot of protests and it takes a while to convince him, but I do. Once we hang up, I finish with the porn and my garbage can and head out of the house and swing into Michael's waiting car. I guess I have more influence on my friend than I thought. I look at his profile as we drive off: he should've been at the dance. Somebody would have dug him. If he had a squip, I'm sure, it wouldn't just let him sit and listen to Weezer all the time.
