Valyrian steel says that you can pre-order their Beyond the Wall Survival Kit.

I have that one, too, JZ. More thoughtful than fun, but I do like it.

Alrighty, then, I'll go with the Callahan. That looks...different from what my classmates are reading (Someone is, in fact, reading Tuesdays With Morrie)

Anne Rice has a werewolf book coming out next month.

I don't know if I'll read it, but I am hoping she does a book tour and it comes to Seattle. Yes, I will go wait in line just so I can get her to autograph my 1st editions of Interview and Lestat. I own my cliches.

Don't laugh, but for what it is, I actually liked reading Tuesdays With Morrie. Although I related more to Albom as the student who had not become all that he expected to, than Morrie, who sometimes seemed like a real man and sometimes seemed like gimp, Jewish, Yoda.

I worked on a production of it, which is the distilled essence of the Hallmark-y-ness of the book. So, I have a more eye-rolly view of it than I otherwise would.

I suppose...the movie was embarrassing, Jack Lemmon or not.

I have not seen the movie, so I can't tell you if it's more or less @@ than the stage show.

It's like "When Good Actors Make Bad Projects" with Hank Azaria and Jack Lemmon. I can't decide if that's the saddest part or if it's that as a crip, I'm so hungry to be "represented" that I watch these horrible things.

Oh, honey, Lifetime has made a living off of both, and with far more egregious transgressions against taste (among other things) than you can be accused of contributing to.
