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)

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I don't know if I'll read it, but I am hoping she does a book tour and it comes to Seattle.
Oh, I'll totally go but I have accepted that I am willing to give her newer (oh, say, from the last 15 years) books a shot and then just give them up if they aren't doing it for me. She bored me with "let me tell you a story about historical Jesus" and that couldn't be more tailored to me without making the Star of Bethlehem a visible supernova.

I quite like the Sharing Knife books, wish to HELL there was a sequel to Sunshine, and while I will ahem movies and TV shows, too many friends of mine are authors, so I never ahem books.
Hrm. I wonder is Nook is doing a deal for American Gods. I lent my copy to a student, and never got it back.
ETA: YES! B&N is offering it for 1.99 also. SCORE.
