Lambda Award, etc.



Split Screen: Attack of the Soul Sucking Brain Zombies/Bride of the Soul-Sucking Brain Zombies (my second Geography Club sequel) is a finalist for the Lambda Book Award! I suspect it's the very first time a "flip-book"--two books in one--has ever been nominated.

The book was also named a New York Public Library "Book for the Teen-Age."

I've said this before, but I'll say it again: I don't take getting on these lists too seriously, because then you have to take it seriously when you're not on them (as inevitably happens--life is like that). But hey, life is good.

It's all cool,

Brent Hartinger

P.S. Did anyone see Sweeney Todd? Zzzzzzz! The songs are irritating musically and really obvious and clunky lyrically. What am I missing?

My Books:

* Dreamquest
* Split Screen: Attack of the Soul-Sucking Brain Zombies/Bride of the Soul-Sucking Brain Zombies
* Grand & Humble
* The Order of the Poison Oak
*
The Last Chance Texaco
* Geography Club

That is un-seriously fantastic! Seriously, good for you!

Well, poo! I will see it when it is released to DVD. I have a teen who wants to see it badly. The good thing about that is, if I lose interest, I can go to my office!

So, besides for a reflected, upside-down y, what is a Lambda award?

Excuse the naivity...

It's just one of a zillion awards they give out. It's gay-themed books.

i thought i was the only person who hated sweeny todd!
thank you so much for clearing things up.
i thought the whole movie in general was kind of corny...
but apparently you and i are the only ones who see that

I didn't make it through the whole movie. Every little thing started annoying me.

But Tim Burton OFTEN annoys me. I loved the headless horseman one, and EDWARDS SCISSORSHANDS. The rest? Not so much.
