To continue our summer reading memories, we'll start with the coolest answer so far, from Christopher Priest, Shelf Awareness marketing manager: 'The Dharma Bums while hitchhiking around the U.S. the summer I turned 19, or The Mandarins during a summer in Paris.' That's hard to top, but Dave Wheeler, our publishing assistant, offers up Diary by Chuck Palahniuk: 'It came out late the summer of 2003. I was working at my hometown's public library and picked it up right away because I'd just finished Lullaby. The weather was mercilessly hot that year, so I remember really commiserating with the people of Waytansea and their awful, stuffy summer of tourists. Like everything by Palahniuk, it's twisted and visceral and nauseating and violent and gripping, which is all I wanted as a 16-year-old reader. So, obviously, when I was a bookseller I gave terrible (read: awesome!) advice to parents who asked what was appropriate for their teenager to read.'
LOS ANGELES, April 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ Critically-acclaimed novelist Don Winslow, author of such bestsellers as Savages (which was made into the 2012 Oliver Stone-directed film of the same name) and The Kings of Cool, has written a three-part serial titled Extreme exclusively for Playboy magazine. Winslow's newest work of fiction debuts in the magazine's May 2014 issue (on newsstands and Playboy SFW now) and will continue to run through its July/August 2014 edition.
If you have ever wondered what theatre by Chuck Palahniuk may be like, then ROME is definitely for you. If you're looking for interesting theatre that will give you plenty to mull over, then ROME is also for you. If you are looking for theatre that will discomfort you to the core of your being while making you laugh at things that you generally wouldn't laugh at, then ROME is for you too. All in all, the experimental ROME was a risk well worth taking.
