Different Kind Of Stage Door For #FindingNeverland's Jeremy Jordan. @americanrep

Carl Hiaasen and John Grisham on a #bea14 and #bookcon panel. Fun stuff.

Still time to catch @menageriebwy before it closes and is just a 'memory' #TheGlassMenagerie on Broadway.

James Patterson gets the first standing (line) ovation of the last day of #bea15. What he do? Everything and just show up! #jimmybooks

clap along if you feel...

Forever this lion.

That blip is Alan Cumming at #bea14 breakfast with Martin Short, Lena Dunham, and Colm Toibin. Martin Short called Alan "the breathtakingly pale Alan Cumming" and said that even "Don Sterling would tell him to get some color." #beahappy2read

more fun from #BEA

Rainbow Rowell and John Darnielle reading at Tumblr’s BEA party at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe.

what happened in Needham, Mass., that made this guy make these (brilliant but creepy) movies?

Here's hoping that the folks at @Doubleday books got some rest because half these folks are headed to the Grisham booklet giveaway and signing. #BookMadness

And then we saw him. Handsome boyo. @ZuluNyala

Well-read, an exclusive excerpt from “The Kid” by Ben Bradlee, Jr.

A voracious consumer of his own press, Ted ignored all the positive coverage and focused only on the negative. “There were 49 million newspapers in Boston, from the Globe to the Brookline Something-or-Other, all ready to jump us…” he whined in his autobiography, My Turn at Bat. He was particularly sensitive about any stories that he felt delved unnecessarily into his private life, stories that accused him of failing to hit in the clutch, or suggested that he was more interested in his own performance than that of the team.

It was natural for writers to despise Williams, and fear him, because he treated them like dirt. But they also knew Ted was great copy, and if they could get him to talk, he was usually a terrific interview because he spoke with unvarnished candor. He was not above stirring the pot with reporters to give him something to be mad at if he felt he was losing his edge. He often said he hit better if he was mad. “He nurtured his rage,” as the writer Roger Kahn once put it.
