An Unlicensed Sequel to This Morning's Book News, In Brief

Earlier today we told you about the manga version of the Twilight books currently being created. Now there's news of a comic book biography of Stephenie Meyer being released this October. Question: Is there anything that Meyer says no to? I mean, besides pre-marital sex?

In that same post, we told you about a proposed bill to put 'A Kindle in every backpack.' Hours after typing up that post, news broke regarding 340 job cuts at educational publisher McGraw-Hill. Are the two connected? Hell naw. But it's a grim glimpse of what's to come should Amazon prove effective in eliminating traditional text books.

As for this morning's last news item -- the one about Vatican City saying that the new Harry Potter film was good? Well, while they're still giving it two crucifixes up, I saw it this afternoon, and with the exception of an exciting opening sequence, I thought it was hella dull.
