More Leftovers For Justin

.
Any of you ever read The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta? The only book of his I have read is Election, which I remember liking; I'm surprised I never similarly went back and read Little Children after liking that movie. Anyway his 2011 book The Leftovers is about some folks living in a post-Rapture world (not the Blondie song; the Jesus-y thing) and it's being turned into a television series for HBO by Damon Lindelof (aka the show-runner on Lost slash writer slash producer of the Star Trek movies and Prometheus) and Deadline's reporting that it will star that chap seen above (you were wondering when I'd get to him, no doubt) Justin Theroux. Hooray for more Theroux! I wonder if this means anything about him starring in a Doctor Strange movie or not starring in a Doctor Strange movie, though...

I've read most, if not all, of his books and am rarely even a little disappointed -- though "Leftovers" was the least successful so far. "Abstinence Teacher" is pretty good, and "Little Children" is excellent.
