Eclipse production to begin August 17, and Rob's not reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid. sniff.

Their website also mentions "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," which happened to be my last read (I have a 10 year old, ok?)..... one more tear in my eye that RPattz and I are on completely different levels, cause he's reading books like the one discovered by LTR:

Rob showers AND reads...

Dear Rob,

I saw the pictures of you holding a book recently and wondered to myself what you were reading. I figured I could blow up the picture & throw a little photoshop filter on to try and read the title myself, OR I could just tweet my question knowing someone’s probably already done the dirty work for me. (Moon & UC tip of the day, start a blog & get a lot of people to read it and then just ask THEM to do all the research for you- it’s a whole lotta fun)* Turns out I didn’t even have to tweet because the gals at Robsessed had someone figure it out for them!

Looks like you’re reading Independent People by Halldor Laxness. Like any good fan, I immediately went to Amazon to purchase the book. Ya know, just in case we end up in a bar together & need something to talk about other than what we’ll obviously be doing later that night (skyping with Kristen. duh) Although I am a good fan, I’m also frugal, and I wanted to make sure I was going to enjoy what I was spending my $10.85 on.

You might judge me now, but I thought the description of the book sounded like it sucks. Big time. I decided I wouldn’t admit that to the world or my friends, but would just pretend I never found out what book you were holding.

EastFriend: DO NOT attempt to read Independent People…just because Rob was carrying it. It is long. It is confusing. It is painful. It is arduous. It is BORING. If he’s trying to appear all mysterious and educated and cultured for reading it, he failed. Cause an ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure.

I will write him a freakin’ letter…

Dear Rob,

Dude, get some Danielle Steele…Jackie Collins…James Patterson…or better yet, The Hunger Games. It’s freaking SUMMER. Time for smut, beach reads, and can’t-put-downables.

Love you,

The Reader (not that pervy The Reader, who molests 15 year old kids. Just so you know.)

UC: I may have already googled it to see if it was a good read.

I fell asleep reading the description. I don’t think he’s pretentious. I really think he loves that book. I think he just might be boring. Let’s send him some Nicholas Sparks & naked pics of ourselves.

EastFriend: I think he’s the opposite of pretentious…I really do. But this book? Why else in the heck would he even be giving it more than a cursory glance? Oh, Rob…you are so educated.

I don’t think he’s boring. He can’t be boring. He has a giggly girl laugh. No one who giggles like that is boring.

I’m down with the Sparks and naked pictures. But ONLY if we are HOLDING A Walk to Remember (the godliest of his books, of course!) WHILE naked.

UC: let’s TAKE a walk to remember, naked WITH ryan gosling. I know he’s in The Notebook. but who cares. he’s hotter than the guy in a walk to remember (who i loved in college, bad)

Moon: of course you loved shane west! who didn’t? especially when he was listened to jars of clay while working on the car!

ok just amazon-ed ‘independent people’- worst written synopsis ever.

got tons of 5 stars though… hmmmmm. maybe it’s for a new movie coming up? his grandma sent it to him to read? he’s in a super secret bookclub of old ladies in NYC? the possibilities are endless!

a secret msg about rob

WestFriend: Dude. I loved Shane West. I had a very pixelated picture of him printed out, and slid into my clear-view binder in Jr. High. You know you had a clear view at some point! (Wow- WestFriend did not mention Rob in this setence)

a secret msg about rob

EastFriend: Rob’s in an urban hipster book club in SoHo. They wear beanies and discuss cold fusion. Over Stoli on ice. Hopefully he’s preparing for his next role. Cause I’d dig him as an urban hipster in a beanie. In glasses. Oh. My. Stars. That’d be smokin’ hot.

Start squealing, WestFriend

WestFriend: If Rob wore glasses…I might squeal. And I hate squealers.

EastFriend: DO NOT attempt to read Independent People...just because Rob was carrying it. It is long. It is confusing. It is painful. It is arduous. It is BORING. If he’s trying to appear all mysterious and educated and cultured for reading it, he failed. Cause an ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure.
