From Quirk Books (no joke) comes a sure candidate for the Pulitzer, the Nobel, the National Book Award (or Booker? Austen was originally English...) and probably some assorted science fiction prizes: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

As sophomores search for summer jobs to fund Parisian semesters and juniors scramble for internships with banks and consulting firms, the concept of a few warm months spent pursuing unpaid work in the arts seems almost inconceivable.

I walked from Fuqua to Erwin Mill-and even rode the C-6 (once)-in hot pursuit of cold, hard cash, giving in exchange minimal time and effort.

Since a supporting role in Best Picture-winning Crash in 2004, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges has had a foot in both the acting and rapping worlds. If Theater of the Mind is any indication, 2009 should be the year where he plants himself firmly in film.
