Brave Men Run

I’ve been in touch with Matt Selznick and we traded books. I finished Brave Men Run last night.

A great read, a real page turner. This is not an insult: it should be a TV show or movie. That’s been leveled at North of Sunset once or twice. People say they like it but also say, “I kept thinking: movie” which is sort of like saying it’s not weighty enough to be a novel. But…I thought the same thing when reading BMR: geeks with superpowers, how superpowers set some people apart from others, would make a good movie or TV show. It reads at that kind of pace. It should get bought by a young adult publisher, but that might be insulting too. Shouldn’t be a problem, they teach Catcher in the Rye in high school. This book could be a bestseller.

Thanks, Henry -- thanks Kristopher! I would love to see BMR as an ongoing television series... of course, now that there's "Heroes," the window may be closed (or open wider than ever!)

Producers... are you reading..?
