Here’s a trailer for Peter Jackson’s soon-to-be-released adaptation of Alice Sebold’s bestselling novel - The Lovely Bones.  Enjoy!

• How about a list of the decade’s best unread books?

• How about a list of the decade’s best science fiction novels?

• How about a list of the decade’s best neologisms? This one’s a real ‘barbeque stopper’.

• HOTW: “Tiger Woods drives sales of physics book.” At least he can drive something.

• Jeremy Clarkson. You either love him, or you hate him. This guy hates him.

• Just about every Romance cliché you can possibly imagine. Bodices will be ripped.

• ORLY: “Outgunned in the specialist press, Carroll took his mathematics to his fiction. Using a technique familiar from Euclid’s proofs, reductio ad absurdum, he picked apart the “semi-logic” of the new abstract mathematics, mocking its weakness by taking these premises to their logical conclusions, with mad results. The outcome is Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”

• “Slowly a pink image materialized on the stick. Holy geez!”

• Second thoughts on rewriting.

• And now, the scariest thing you’ll see all Friday. Guaranteed.
