Newsday saw the Wolves in the Walls theatrical adaptation, and it sounds worthwhile.

I'd like to see a freewheeling Yo La Tengo show. Sounds like it might happen in Brooklyn, but tickets don't seem to actually be on sale. Here's an article on the touring scheme, and Q & A with James McNew.

Interview with Harry Bliss:

Scene: In your most recent children’s book series with Doreen Cronin—Diary of a Worm, Diary of a Spider, Diary of a Fly—do you feel lucky that something like a minotaur isn’t keeping a diary?

Bliss: Yeah, Diary of a Horse would suck.

For the record, I like all three of the books that are out. So do kids.

I don't know why these collector's editions of Harry Potter 1 exist, but I know that today approximately 2000 of these books were given away. Also you could build a house out of these books. Like in the House of Paper, but probably more structurally sound.
