What to Buy Readers with Short Attention Spans

Okay, so let’s say you have someone in your family who claims to like to read, but you really aren’t sure how they sit still long enough to even consider the notion. How about magazines? The perfect solution gift for the short attention span reader in your family. And they are reasonably priced too. When I was a kid, we always got Reader’s Digest. Despite its wholesome leanings, there were actually things worth reading in it. As far as quality goes, you can always purchase a short story anthology, or, seriously enough, Playboy, which provides such quality that you really could just read it for the articles.

Twilight

Things you should never say in public:

I think Thomas Kinkade is a total hack.

I don’t text with my cell phone.

Kanye West should stop making music now.

MySpace is stupid.

And last but not least…

I have zero interest in reading or seeing Twilight.

…because that book has been written a million times and I’ve already seen Underworld.

Oh… and because it looks stupid.

Sarah Palin gets a book deal

Everyone wants a piece of Sarah Palin. And she wasn’t even on the winning ticket! In the past week or so, she was offered $2 million for an exclusive in an adult film. Then it was rumored that she was offered a part on Desperate Housewives. And today the word is book deal. Apparently she is getting a $7 million dollar book deal.

Michael Crichton dead at age 66

Wow, this is some sad news. Author Michael Crichton apparently passed away. He was age 66. And he died of cancer. And that is odd cause I had no idea. I mean, you would think you would have heard that. I mean he IS the Jurassic Park author. You can read more on Yahoo.

The next JK Rowling

Every author out there is hoping to be the next JK Rowling. I suspect that is not hurt by the fact that she is so freaking rich.A lot of people in the industry are also anxious to see who the next JK Rowling will be. I am certain that is because their numbers are down since she has no new book. Some say that it might be Twilight author Stephenie Meyer. And others point to Eragon scribe Christopher Paolini. Me? I prefer Libba Bray over both of them.
