A story within a story! In the movie Music & Lyrics, @drewbarrymore’s character Sophie Fisher is haunted by a bestselling novel that is basically about her that’s written by her ex: “The Incredibly True Story of Sally Michaels” by Sloan Cates (played by a deliciously narcissistic Campbell Scott). Hugh Grant plays pop music has-been Alex Fletcher and needs Sophie to help him write lyrics for a song. Rom-com shenanigans (delightfully) ensue, especially after Alex reads the Sally Michaels book. This movie is an oft overlooked gem that features books, both leads singing (Hugh Grant learned piano for the part), and a very early @imdb for @aasif as a tone-deaf doorman. #BookLewk 📚 . . . . #BookLewk #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #writers #writersofinstagram #book #books #bookshelf #art #artbook #coffeetablebook #coffeetable #home #romcom #movie #bookstore #drewbarrymore #hughgrant #aasifmandvi #campbellscott #music #musicandlyrics #writer #writers #writerlife #writersinmovies #film
“You’re not going to read that shit on my time. I can tell you all about ‘The Lord of the Flies.’ It’s a bunch of boys, on an island, and they have a conch, they have a shell and whoever has the conch has the power and they can talk. And if you don’t have the conch, then you don’t have the power. Then there’s a little chubby boy and they call him Piggy and they’re really mean. And then there’s a murder. ... I mean, humanity is just nasty. And there’s no silver lining.” . . . “Wow. That’s a great synopsis. I still need to read it, though.” (🤣🤣🤣) . . . It’s Jennifer Lawrence’s turn! Last week I posted a #BookLewk of Bradley Cooper in Silver Lining’s Playbook. Here’s JLaw’s epic synopsis (and disdain) of “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding. (Same, girl. Same.) #BookLewk 📚 . . . . #BookLewk #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #writers #writersofinstagram #book #books #bookshelf #art #artbook #coffeetablebook #coffeetable #home #silverliningsplaybook #oscars #jenniferlawrence #jlaw #romcom #lordoftheflies

“Stupid fucking book!” . . . . Of course, this is #BradleyCooper in Silver Linings Playbook, in which we get not one but two book sightings. Today we see Bradley diligently read Hemingway (before throwing it out the window). Stay tuned for Jennifer Lawrence’s spot-on Lord of the Flies synopsis. #BookLewk 📚 . . . . #BookLewk #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #writers #writersofinstagram #book #books #bookshelf #art #artbook #coffeetablebook #coffeetable #home #silverliningsplaybook #oscars #jenniferlawrence #jlaw #romcom #hemingway
