    Joel Stein discusses YA

    Adults Should Read Adult Books - Room for Debate - NYTimes.com I don't like his casual dismissal of The Hunger Games. From what I've read of that series, it attempts to deal with "serious issues". I do agree that anyone 18 and older shouldn't be debating the mythology of the Twilight Saga...

    Top 10 musical turnoffs

    Creed only scored the #7 spot. I would be concerned if a potential boyfriend genuinely liked Lil Wayne, Creed, Nickelback, and Justin Bieber. U2, however, should not be on there.

    Batman: The Long Halloween (Jeph Loeb)

    Rewatching (and largely enjoying) the 90's Batman cartoon on The Hub had inspired me to try some of the comics/graphic novels. I suppose I should've started with Miller's Year One since Jeph Loeb's story picks up where Miller left off, but A.) TLH can stand on its own, and B.) my library didn't...

    Their album Lulu hits stores November 1st. The songs are inspired by the play from Frank Wedekind. Lou Reed & Metallica: The View (30-second Preview) - YouTube Hmm. So far I'm not enthused with this. Reed's vocals really don't mesh well with the music.

    Entitled customer behavior

    YouTube - ‪Don't Talk - Angry Voicemail (Uncensored)‬‏ So even though the theater plays "no texting" ads before a film, she still didn't know not to text or use her cell phone? Right. The best part of this video is how they transcribed her mispronunciations.

    YA fiction is too dark

    David Fincher's Dragon Tattoo movie
