Daily Discussion: If you could hang out with one writer for a day…

Whether alive or dead, if you could hang out with one writer for a day, whether it be writer of fiction, nonfiction or poetry, who would it be? I would totally hang out with Emily Dickinson, because that chick was crazy.

Daily Discussion: IHCer needs your help in stocking his book store

From an anonymous IHCer: “I’m in the process of taking over the buying for a well established independent book store in the wilds of WA State. We have great stock so far, but I’d like to build up the sci-fi / fantasy / horror / science / tech / DIY / hacker / gardening / outdoors / everything aspect of the shop before the summer. Any hot book picks from the IHC crowd? Imagine you’re in the middle of nowhere with your family and you need something to read for a mountain vacation… GO!”

Everything wrong with The Hunger Games in three minutes

Obviously, this thing is chock full of spoilers. I haven’t even watched this video, because I plan on seeing Hunger Games soon and I want to find out all of this for myself. So again, haven’t seen the video, so if it’s the wrong video I have no idea. This could actually be a video of really fat woman falling down stairs and I’d have no idea.

Who’s this lovely Victorian lady? Why that’s F. Scott Fitzgerald in drag
The photos were taken in 1916 to help promote The Evil Eye at Princeton’s Triangle Club. Fitzgerald was in his third year at Princeton when the musical-comedy troupe performed the bawdy lyrics penned by the future Great Gatsby writer. In a review of his performance, the Times referred to Fitzgerald as “the most beautiful” girl in the whole production.

Universal and the Tolkien estate may have a Middle Earth theme park in the pipes

With three hugely popular Lord of the Rings movies and a trilogy of Hobbit movies, Tolkien is one hot property in Hollywood. Now there are rumors that Universal is working with the Tolkien estate to create a Middle Earth theme park.
