thistlechaserI know which book I'll be reading...
ABC has announced plans to introduce a Lost subplot about a character named Gary Troup, a fictitious author who supposedly perished in the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, but left behind the manuscript on which he had been working, having dropped it off with his publisher just days before boarding the fatal flight.
Here's where the line between fact and fiction blurs: Hyperion Books, ABC's sister publishing label, is actually putting out said manuscript in book form this spring--here in the real world--to coincide with the related episodes of Lost.
Titled Bad Twin, the private eye thriller is said to be about a rich heir's search for his devious sibling. Hyperion said it has commissioned a well known writer to pen the book, with the help of writers from the show.
The book will probably be junk (and contain no clues at all), but what fan would pass up the chance to check it out?

And this just makes me sick: Man Kills Buck With Bare Hands in Bedroom. On the surface the situation seems simple: A deer crashes through a window and into a woman's home, and her father kills it with his bare hands. My first thought was "he was defending his daughter, so it's okay", but read the story:
Goldsberry was at his daughter's home when he heard glass breaking. He went back to check on the noise and found the deer.
"I was standing about like this peeking around the corner when the deer came out of the bedroom," said Goldsberry. The deer ran down the hall and into the master bedroom — "jumping back and forth across the bed."
Goldsberry, about 6-feet-1 and 200 pounds, entered the bedroom to confront the deer and, after a brief struggle, emerged to tell his wife to call police. After returning to the bedroom, the fight continued. Goldsberry finally was able to grip the animal and twist its neck, killing it.
There was no one in the room. He didn't need to fight it in the first place. He left the room/fight, told his wife to call the police, then went back in to kill it. What the hell? Why not let animal control get it out of the home? What sort of person would needlessly kill an animal, bare-handed or not?
Grrrrrrrr.
