The Guts

The Guts by Roddy Doyle (Jonathan Cape). Doyle revisits Commitments hero Jimmy Rabbitte, now in his late 40s, with a wife and four children, a business resurrecting old bands (with the charming domain name oldshite.com), and bowel cancer.

 

Doctor Sleep

In September we get Doctor Sleep by Stephen King (Hodder & Stoughton).

Danny Torrance was the young boy with psychic abilities at the centre of The Shining. Now, in this much-heralded sequel, he’s a middle-aged drifter using his “shining” power to comfort the dying – until a tribe of child-torturing paranormals and a young girl in peril reawaken his demons.


 

Chinese Mass Weddings

As noted by a blogger on the website Fluentu.com, the date Jan. 4, 2013, when said aloud in Mandarin, sounds a lot like a declaration of adoration (roughly translated as "I will love you for all of my life").

Wanting to make the most of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, thousands of couples reportedly flocked to registry offices across China to tie the knot.

According to Sky News, approximately 10,000 couples were married in Beijing on Friday. Additional government staff were reportedly called in to deal with the nuptials surge.

Book to Movie

The plot for Sin City 2 comes from the stories A Dame To Kill For, Just Another Saturday Night, and a new one Frank Miller wrote called The Long, Bad Night, which apparently centers on Alba’s character Nancy Callahan who will be the connection between the two films.

The movie is set to be released on October 4th, 2013.
