Ah, that makes sense.
I like the woman reading Amy more than the guy reading Nick. She's got the more fun part so far, though.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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."

P-C, I thought you read the book before? Am I wrong.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ooh! I saw a book in the store a while ago - "Apocalypse Cow" - about (you guessed it) zombie cows. (P-C reminded me because, you know, COW)

Also, in sort-of literary news, Tom and Lorenzo have a book out. Nowhere near as much fun as their website ... I skimmed through the first couple chapters and it seems more sad and cynical than snarky and funny. They're appearing at a local bookstore to read, answer questons, and sign books.

You are wrong. I read Sharp Objects years ago, though.

Should I have any interest in seeing a press screening of Divergent if I'm not planning on reading the book?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm in the middle of Allegiant, and I wonder if these might not make better movies than books.
Which isn't a definitive answer, but I do think it's a generally interesting story, and the elder portion of the cast should be good.

Four looks hunky. (That's all I got.)
t edit Okay, I just looked at the IMDB page -- Kate Winslet is Jeanine Matthews??? I'm more intrigued now.

Well, I quite liked the first book. The second NSM, and the third I haven't read, given the reviews I've seen. But I'd enjoy seeing the movie, of the first one. Plus it sounds like they got a good cast.
