The Lady from Delaware

I'm the person Anthony Hopkins hopes is Anne Bancroft, but, hey, we can't have everything.
God, I can’t wait for this show to start again.

“What are we doing in here, Chief? Huh? What’s us two guys doing in this fucking place? Let’s get out of here. Out.”

bookmania: The Infinity of Knowledge. The Prague Municipal Library at Marianske Square, Zilina, Slovakia is definitely worth visiting because of an amazing sculpture made of numerous books by Matej Kren, a young Czechoslovak artist. This wonderful sculpture is placed in the Prague Municipal Library, consisting of books and mirrors, creating an unusual effect of infinity. It kind of reminds us of Alice in Wonderland, (Down the Rabbit Hole!), the amazing, infinite path towards knowledge, but it gives us a feel of obscurity - totally a must-see piece of art in the world of optical illusions!

youtastelikenachos: I learned the following things at Ann Patchett’s event tonight: Ann Patchett sometimes describes State of Wonder as “Heart of Darkness for women,” but she was actually heavily influenced by Henry James’ The Ambassadors and curiously enough, Pinnochio. Ann Patchett gets annoyed when, at age 48, people still ask her if she and her husband are ever going to have kids. Ann Patchett’s luscious descriptions of the rainforest came from watching Werner Herzog movies. Meryl Streep once called Ann Patchett at home to ask if she could please do the film for Bel Canto. Ann Patchett was forced to turn her down and said disappointing Meryl Streep was one of the most terrible things she’s ever had to do. Ann Patchett believes spending more at a local bookstore than you would on that terrible website that rhymes with Glamazon will make everyone, even the cosumer who spent more, richer in the long run. When Madeleine Miller won the Orange Prize today, Ann Patchett would like you to know that she was wearing a dress that she borrowed from Ann. Ann Patchett thinks Rihanna is pretty. Basically, Ann Patchett and I would be best friends.
