Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey
Welcome to LA. City of contradictions. It is home to movie stars and down-and-outs. Palm-lined beaches and gridlock. Shopping sprees and gun sprees. Bright Shiny Morning takes a wild ride through the ultimate metropolis, where glittering excess rubs shoulders with seedy depravity. Frey's trademark filmic snapshots zoom in on the parallel lives of diverse characters, bringing their egos and ideals, hopes and despairs, anxieties and absurdities vividly to life. Some suffer, like the otherworldly wino who tries to save a spoilt teenage runaway. Others gain, like the canny talent agent who turns sexual harassment to blackmailing advantage. Some are loaded, or grounded, and have luck on their side. Others, like the countless actresses-turned-hookers, or schoolboys-turned-gangsters, are doomed.To ensure you recieve a copy, follow these steps: Join the book club and add the featured book to your "I want to read" bookshelf (the first members to do this will get a copy of the book)

Midnight Sun: Edward's Version of Twilight
Stephenie Meyer has posted a draft copy of Midnight Sun that she'd rather her fans not read. It was leaked onto the internet recently which has put her off finishing the book indefinately.
Stephenie explains: "As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher (Hachette).
I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution..."

Stephanie is more forgiving than I would be. Whether it was with malicious intent or not, it was a horrendous breach of her trust. I hope for her fans sake that she does finish it.
