Andy Samberg hosted the Emmy's Sunday night, and started by poking fun at how very much television we seem to watch, or seem to be told to watch, or miss but wish we had watched.  Close behind he joked,  “The Emmys are all about celebrating the best of the year in television. So, sorry, books — not tonight! ..."    news        True whether in books or media, a fair amount of time should be spent enriching the mind versus zombifying it!

Presumably a lost transcript until last year, the release of Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman is upon us.   It was written before To Kill a Mockingbird, but never published.  Alissa Elliott Community Business Development Manager of Barnes & Noble in Redlands, CA said, "I expect it to be one of the bestselling books of the year, if not the best.  It is an extraordinary historic event that cannot be matched."    news link
