Sorry for the hiatus. It's been rough on both of us, but that's all over now. I promise this time, to be better. More updates, more fun stuff, more information and commentary on what's going on in the book world.

For instance, The Millions notes that a number of big books are now coming to a theater near you. Aside from Running With Scissors, The Black Dahlia, and Hollywoodland, there's also rumors of The Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and The Corrections lighting up your life.

We here at Zooba wonder: What ever happened to Motherless Brooklyn? Ed Norton apparently optioned it "before it came out" -- so in 1999 -- and was slated to write, produce and star in it.

Now IMDB says the movie is slated to come out in 2007. Maybe...sorta...sigh.
