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.
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.
Soulless manga up for pre-order.
