Willow ,'Him'
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."
Where he almost outacted Molly Ringwald!
I'm always a bit befuddled by actors who get worse. She was fine as a teenager. I really noticed it on the short lived sitcom Townies where she was completely blown off the screen by then-newcomers Lauren Graham and Jenna Elfman, each blasting megawatts of snark and charm and Molly...not.
I have somewhere a tape version of Robert Pinsky's Inferno translation, read by four poets (including Pinsky). Of the four, Seamus Heaney was far and away the best
I have a CD of Seamus Heaney reading his translation of Beowulf, and it's marvelous. I love, love, love his voice and his style--and his translation, for that matter. I am a Seamus Heaney fangirl!!1!
But I find them really charming, Hec. In Molly's defense. It would take quite the charming person to look good next to that.
While it is still true that Molly's wardrobe out acted her in Betsy's Wedding she is still one of my favorite parts of it. Don't get me going on Anthony Lapaglia! oops, too late
I didn't realize the Alienist was abridged, but now that you mention it, the book IS pretty hefty. And while I can understand wanting the real deal, I still seriously recommend it.
I am glad for the two year wait. I think the two years between 5 and 6 was well spent. A tighter book.
Heh. Around SF Eggers/Chabon is the OTP.
Am I a dummy, or is Michael Chabon's first name not Jonathan?? Also, Dave Eggers's first name is not Jonathan. There seems to be somewhat of a loose Jonathan requirement to get into that club, you know?
One wonders what the female equivalent of that club is. The blurb under the cartoon implied that The Jonathans need to exist, in part, because of their maleness, because they're in dialogue with masculinity. Still, does that mean I have to go to chick lit to join a club? Hope not.

There were some dopey elements to that comic. I thought the villain should've been that critic/author who tore into Franzen and those guys. Whassisname. The guy who wrote Thumbsucker?
I also think Gawker is obsessed with Jonathan Chaben and got confused. They've fixed it now.
