Naked Alexander Skarsgård Reading Books By People I Know
Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 9:40PM I couldn't make out the book Eric Northman was reading on the season finale of True Blood so I just decided it was a book by someone I know. I couldn't resist the GIFing...
Congratulations to all my published author friends and frienquaintances! Not all of them are just-published but lately it seems like there's been a wave of such happenings and I am so happy and proud for them. Writing a book is no easy task. It's like scaling a Swedish mountain in the snow. Naked.
Speaking of -- back to Alexander Skarsgård. It's nice for him to finally bring his penis to work with him but that final "cliffhanger" was DUMB in all caps. Everyone knows they're not going to kill off Eric. The showrunners have already said they didn't because they're terrified of change and constantly fandering. I'd say that that's the whole problem with True Blood except that implying it only has one is even dumber.

No "The Desiring-Image"?
That finale was the most disappointing end to a season that almost was getting back on track :(
Even seeing Little Skarsgard didn't help
Theis -- it's there!
Seriously, this is not the first time someone has reached my fourth-chapter breakdown of the various forms of the Deleuzian crystal-image and stripped right down. I wish I could act surprised.
Some people don't even wait for the fourth chapter.
"Fandering" is my new favorite word.
The actual book Eric is reading is Den allvarsamma leken (The Serious Game), a 1912 Swedish novel by Hjalmar Söderberg. My sleuthing was made possible by Just Jared and Wikipedia.
The cliffhganger might be dumb, but it got us Skarsgard naked. As far as I'm concerned they could have put a neon saying "Hey look, he's naked" and a pointing arrow, and I'd have cared all the same. I mean, does anybody watch True Blood at this point for the plot?
iggy - good point
paul - thanks!
anne marie -- i thought it needed to be invented.
What Anne Marie said.
Nahtaniel, we expect YOUR book!!!
That scene was such a buzz kill. It's like "Yay! Naked Eric.....oh....well that was stupid."
peggy sue -- how would i have time to write one with this blog going on ;) I did try to sell one a few years ago but it didn't get picked up. i need a topic i can write about endlessly so i dont get bored
How about a guide to an statute for actresses (as a topic for your book)?
Michelle Pfeiffer fan frustration is an excellent topic for a book. Difficult to imagine you getting bored by exposing your inner most thoughts on an artist almost forgotten -- I hate American sexism and the studio system.
Actresses and Oscars!!! The Racism, the ageism and why some of our favorite girls will never win one.
What about Boobs or Cocks, A History of Sexism and Nudity in Hollywood in Photos ? Sure, it's lame but catchy, plus it'd be easy to write and I'm sure some publishing company would pick it up. Who said that your first book has to be your most beloved one? Once you get published, I guess it's less hard* to convince the same publishers to go with one you love more.
PS: Sorry, my English is getting worse and worse, and if that wasn't enough, I insist on typing without my contacts...
How about What a Difference a Generation Makes: Anatomy of Four Actresses, a look at the careers of Michelle Pfeiffer (born 1958), Julianne Moore (1960), Renée Zellweger (1969) and Hilary Swank (1974) in the light of a changing American pop culture in the second half of the 20th century and beyond.
