The Book Job
6 commentsso i’m watching the Simpsons again apparently
there was a small period of time that i laid it off from my TV calendar, there were too many things going on and i didn’t have time for my favorite five yellow people…but i feel like the quality has picked up since then.
also Neil Gaiman guest stars in this episode!
So it’s an episode of The simpons with a subject close to my heart, books! nope, book writing? nope…GETTING YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED
so many beautiful references in this episode that i weep, i weep tears for my unpublished novel…(which is getting a complete rewrite, 2500 words in so far)
this episode was produced by Matt Selman as well
check it,a small reference for The Magicians and The Magician King fans! Matt Selman is friends with Lev Grossman because they use to write on a Time blog (which is non-existent now) called Nerd World. I know this because i’m a creep…
GAH SO AWESOME…
similarly, this was what kept me reading 1Q84…its about a girl who couldn’t write but became a best seller due to a ghost writer….dammit these things are no good but i almost wished that it happened to me. Does that mean i’m starved for fame? Not exactly, but some recognition from this ‘world’ would be nice. it doesn’t need to be a best seller, it could be a job, any job…

ack! the simpsons are the best… I love it when animators hide secret/hardly noticeable things like that!
I really liked Murakami’s exploration of cults though more. I thought that was brilliantly done, you can tell he was inspired by his Underground interviews. Also Aomame is quite a kick ass character.
YOu know I still havn’t read The Magician might as well order it for Christmas.
i agree that there are actually quite a few things that got me excited in 1Q84………and it’s not all bad but for some reason the review really came out that way
I wish I could lend you my copy of The Magicians and the magician king but alas the world it is larger than the distance of our email addresses could lend
i really loved the magicians, i’m on the fence about the magician king so i might have to re-read
i feel like all the characters are relate-able so that’s always a good sign
It’s been a while since I’ve watched the Simpsons. I stopped because of other commitments and the quality seemed to be going down. This sounds like a good ep.. I’m gonna check it out!
Wonderful little quips in the Simpsons!
Glorious.
Haha “yellow people”, you’d think yellow people would end up looking Asian, but guess not.
Surprisingly, I rarely watch the Simpsons. I think they’re the longest running television show, so there must be something good about this show. I should give it a try. :P
