I was reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series), picked it up again but bookmark had dropped somewhere and I couldn't find where I was, so may start from some earlier place.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

The Devil’s Candy.

It is an account of the making of the movie, The Bonfire of the Vanities.

The book was a huge success. The movie was an utter flop. The books focuses on the absolute madness that goes into making a movie. For example a single simple scene of the main character walking out of his apartment building in the rain requires 150 cast members, 2 100 foot tall cranes and three days of shooting and costs close to 500,000 dollars. Such a simple inconsequential scene that if done incorrectly could ruin the entire movie.
