+ I posted this on Twitter earlier today but it's worth reposting for anyone who might have missed it: What if "Lost" were a sitcom from the Nineties?" Hee.British author Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy) has a new novel coming out this fall called Juliet, Naked. It's about an English singer/songwriter who gets involved via e-mail with a woman in rural Pennsylvania. Release date is Sept. 29. As a huge Hornby fan, I can't wait.
+ Researchers at the University of Colorado have released a study claiming definitive proof that there was once "a deep, ancient lake" on Mars. Proof of a little shack where a weird guy named Ned sold nightcrawlers has not yet surfaced.
+ And finally because I love her, here's an interview with Betty White. She is tres awesome.
I am having trouble with the link to the HBP posters and may well die from anticipation. Help.

ReplyDeleteEek - sorry about that! The link is now fixed. Thanks for catching it, and thanks, Michele, for stepping in and saving the day!
ReplyDeleteNo problem!
ReplyDeleteBetty White is a goddess.
ReplyDeleteIt is representative of some horrific character flaw that I am not, in fact, wild about Harry? I try. Honest.
No, it's not a character flaw. I like HP a lot but the last movie sort of sapped my enthusiasm. I enjoyed the books very much and I think I'll always prefer those over the movies...except, um, Goblet of Fire because David Tennant was in it and because I will continue to be quite shallow on that front.
ReplyDeleteBut I can totally understand not being into HP. That's definitely how I feel about Twilight.
What Tennant? Where? I want that!!
ReplyDeleteSadly I am not crazy about the books either . I am a bad human.
I disagree that you're a bad human. I was crazy about the HP books when they first came out (and I was in my 30s then), but I've grown rather indifferent to them since. I gave up on the films after the fourth one - despite DT's presence as the tongue-flicking Barty Crouch Jr (he couldn't save the film for me, alas!). The third film was the best, for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michele and Liz! You girls are friends indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I was just thinking the other day that it was time for Nick Hornby to write something new. Awesome.
