I thought THE STRAIN was pretty great, actually. It was a clever take on the mythology of vampires, and it genuinely creeped me out in parts. I can't wait for the THE FALL.

I finished reading Dan Brown's THE LOST SYMBOL last week. An excellent, fast-paced thriller that is even better than THE DA VINCI CODE.

I'm currently reading THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE.

"Growing up my dad was like 'You have a great last name, Galifianakis. Galifianakis...begins with a gal...and ends with a kiss...' I'm like that's great dad, can we get it changed to 'Galifianafuck' please?" -- Zach Galifianakis
