E acabei de ler Twilight (Crepúsculo). Praticamente devorei o livro, li em cada minutinho que dava. Tudo bem q não era difícil adivinhar q eu ia gostar, afinal, tem vampiros. Mas a história me prendeu tanto... Quero ler os outros livros agora. E estou esperando o filme q vai sair no final do ano.

Não consigo ver esse vídeo do Iggy Pop e os Stooges tocando Ray of Light (da Madonna) sem rir.



Agora alguém me explica pq o Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominou a Madonna esse ano, mas até hoje não indicou os Stooges?

Para os apocalípticos:

(...) when Mr. Jobs was asked two weeks ago at the Macworld Expo what he thought of the Kindle, he heaped scorn on the book industry. “It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is; the fact is that people don’t read anymore,” he said. “Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year.”

To Mr. Jobs, this statistic dooms everyone in the book business to inevitable failure.

Only the business is not as ghostly as he suggests. In 2008, book publishing will bring in about $15 billion in revenue in the United States, according to the Book Industry Study Group, a trade association.

One can only wonder why, by the Study Group’s estimate, 408 million books will be bought this year if no one reads anymore?

A survey conducted in August 2007 by Ipsos Public Affairs for The Associated Press found that 27 percent of Americans had not read a book in the previous year. Not as bad as Mr. Jobs’s figure, but dismaying to be sure. Happily, however, the same share — 27 percent — read 15 or more books.

In fact, when we exclude Americans who had not read a single book in that year, the average number of books read was 20, raised by the 8 percent who read 51 books or more. In other words, a sizable minority does not read, but the overall distribution is balanced somewhat by those who read a lot.

E continua nesse artigo muito legal do New York Times.

Eu acho engraçadíssimo reparar que nos fóruns de filmes do IMDB sempre tem um tópico dizendo que aquele é "o pior filme de todos os tempos".
