This has already gone on my holiday wish list! Photographer Tim Hailand spent a day photographing Daniel Radcliffe on January 13, 2009, during his run in Equus on Broadway. The resulting photographs have been collected in a book cleverly titled, One Day in the Life of Daniel Radcliffe. The book is comprised of 50 black and white images, with footnotes written by Daniel…
“You should like balls infinitely better,” said Darcy, “if you knew the first thing about them.” -Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies You can do a lot in a week. You can lose weight on the SlimFast diet plan. You can create the heavens and the Earth. You can also read our Summer FBOTU Book Club selection: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by…
“You will excuse me for saying so, but I have never seen a zombie’s head taken off by words—nor do I ever expect to.” -Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Two weeks, folks! Two weeks left before discussion begins on our Summer FBOTU Book Club selection Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. That’s plenty of time to read the harrowing…
If you haven’t picked up a copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for the FBOTU Book Club, you still have three weeks! That’s plenty of time to read the adventures of the zombie-killing Bennet sisters and their pursuit of the living dead and potential husbands. You can get the book at Amazon or wherever early 19th century novels about zombies are sold. By…
“We are each commanded by His Majesty to defend Hertfordshire from all enemies until such time as we are dead, rendered lame or married.” -Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies If you like your Jane Austen with a little more bloodlust, or if you ever wondered why literary treasure Elizabeth Benet never ripped out a man’s heart and ate it,…
The Q Guide books are like a gay version of Time/Life, producing books written by gay fans for gay fans. I’ve personally read both The Q Guide to Broadway and The Q Guide to The Golden Girls. They’re slim volumes, but are fun to read and never fail to give the big, gay perspective on the subject at hand. Mike Pingel, the author of The Q Guide to Charlie’s…
Did everyone finish reading (or re-reading) the current FBOTU Book Club selection, Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons? What a happy, happy ending! Discussion begins today in the Forum, just in time to get your thoughts and reactions in before the movie opens on Friday. It’s going to be all-Watchmen, all-the-time for the next couple of weeks, so pat yourselves…
One week before the FBOTU Book Club discussion of Watchmen begins! You can totally read Watchmen in a week. I once read Moby Dick in one night AND wrote a paper on it. So don’t give up hope if you haven’t finished (or started) the book yet. What else have I done in a ridiculous amount of time? Let’s see, I once planned a wedding in two days. I drove from…
Art by Evan Shaner How’s the reading going? Hopefully everyone is well into the book by now. If not, fret not. You still have two weeks to get Watchmen and read the hell out of it. I think I know the FBOTU crowd a little bit by now, so I can’t imagine anyone would think this, but just in case you’re wondering, “Why should I read the book? The movie…
Has everyone started reading or re-reading our current FBOTU Book Club selection, Watchmen, yet? The frenzy over the movie is reaching a fever pitch, methinks. Not only was it everywhere I looked at New York Comic-Con over the weekend, but I’ve also been seeing the book show up everywhere from the supermarket to Target. Hopefully that means no one’s having…
Celebrated and revered as the best graphic novel of our time, Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is a modern classic. If you’ve been in outer space for the past couple of years, you might not know there’s a long-awaited movie adaptation premiering March 6. But don’t feel bad if you didn’t know that. Personally, I had never read Watchmen myself…
Today’s the day! Hopefully, you’ve all procured and read our current selection of the FBOTU Book Club: Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher. If you haven’t picked up the book yet, or if you did, but haven’t finished it, fret not. It’s an open-ended discussion, so feel free to join in as soon as you can. If you have read it, and you’re ready…
Carrie Fisher...or, I should say Princess Leia...was my first (and last) crush on a girl. Beautiful and brave and strong, I loved her immediately, and while I related closely to Luke Skywalker‘s farmboy with an important destiny, I secretly believed Star Wars was as much Leia’s story as his. She was a princess after all. (And I was a little queen.) One fateful…
