I haven't been so desperate for a bookmark that I've used a cat...yet. This is the last weekend before grading day and all I can say is the weather better improve soon. Being stuck inside with a bored 8 year old for 2 months won't be fun. We'll have to read a lot of books!
What is new this week in the book world?
*So now we know what Pottermore is all about? Right?
*"Sad " Keanu Reeves writes Ode to Happiness, a book of poetry. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
*Justin Cronin gets a screenwriter for The Passage.
*Will Emma Stone fight zombies in Pride & Prejudice & Zombies?
*Group burns cover of Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill.
*Writer insults: "Ulysses is the work of a queasy undergraduate scratching his pimples." That's quite vivid.
*Etsy Love: This is a cute bookmark for both book and basset hound lovers from Supatoon's shop.
So, I hope you all have a great weekend! Talk to you soon.
Bwah! I wonder how the cat liked GOON SQUAD?!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed those writer insults. Geez, who did Nabokov like? And as for the Mark Twain quote:
ReplyDelete"Every time I read ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ I want to dig her up and hit her over the skull with her own shin-bone.”
At first I thought it hysterical, then I thought about it-- "Every time"??? Why read it that often if he hates it that much?
i just finished listening to the passage on audio and didn't realize that it's going to be a movie and is part of a trilogy. the movie is going to be 4,000 hours long! lol. thanks for the bits and pieces. have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteGREAT links, as always. And I KNEW I should've taken a pic when I used my dog as a bookmark while reading A Visit From the Goon Squad last week. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the cat photo, how adorable. And the bookmarks from Etsy, I always enjoy those. Thanks for sharing such great links.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I think I'm definitely going to have to check Keanu's book of poetry out. :P
ReplyDeleteForget the book “Go the F**k to Sleep”, a pathetic, soul-less, allegedly rebel, ‘children’s book’. Don’t waste your hard-earned money, instead read a BANNED book like “America Deceived II” by a real rebel and the “World’s Most Hated Author”, E.A. Blayre III.
