From Publisher's Weekly, 7/11/05, p. 18, the little author factoid-snippets they put on their bestseller lists, regarding bestselling author Jodi Picoult: "Which five people, living or dead, would Picoult invote to a dinner party? 'Ernest Hemingway, Alice Hoffman, William Shakespeare, Mel Gibson and Emeril Lagasse, because someone's got to cook.'"
HEE.
And on p.21, regarding the audio version of historian David McCullough's 1776, read by the author: "McCullough came to his recording in a beautiful, starched, crisp button-down shirt. Of course, the microphone was picking up sounds every time he moved hi[s] arm or even took a deep breath. To remedy this, at lunchtime he headed over to Brooks Brothers on Fifth Avenue and bought a soft cotton T-shirt to wear for the duration of the recording."
My thought-- Brooks Brothers sells *T-shirts*???
