Three things

Jump to Comments

I just got my EW today & there are three blogworthy items:

#1 “The Riches” debuts tonight on FX. Stars Eddie Izzard & Minnie Driver. Nuff said.

#2 The “obsessive fan of the week” is a dude in Erie who loves The Shining. Mark Steensland: good on ya. I recommend a trip to The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. It inspired The Shining and is a pretty nice place. I’ve dined but not stayed there. Estes Park is a lovely little town, a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Spend a few days exploring the park. Be sure to use the trails b/c as lovely as it is from one’s car, it’s amazing on foot. And have a breakfast at The Egg & I at least one morning

#3 Tawni O’Dell has a new book out: Sister Mine. EW gives it an A but I didn’t need to see that. I will buy everything she writes upon release. In fact, now that I have something of hers to pick up once I finish it, I think I’ll finally read my hardback copy of Coal Run. By the time I finish, this new one should be in my hands. If not, I’ll just read Back Roads for the 27th time. Even Hawk loved Back Roads. If you haven’t read it, I can’t recommend it more. It’s set in the next county over & she captures the setting, including the people, the attitudes, etc. brilliantly. Back Roads inspired RFM, in case anyone cares.
