First thing’s first: I added even more shots from the LA premiere of The Jane Austen Book Club. Some are HQ, some aren’t, but enjoy either way!

I also added tons of media in both Audio and Video (and got my computer back - yay!). First off, I uploaded the NYPR interview between Hugh and Robin Swicord, which is about 18 minutes long and is pretty entertaining. I also added Clip 6 and 7 from Book Club which you can download or watch at HDi’s YouTube Channel. I also added two premiere clips, though Hugh is not interviewed, unfortunately.

Finally, I was browsing Amazon earlier and came across this little find. Hugh has apparently lent his voice to another project! This time, it’s an audio book for George’s Secret Key to the Universe, a book written by Stephen and Lucy Hawking. Check out the cover and a short description below.

Stephen Hawking, author of the multi-million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time, and his daughter, Lucy, explain the universe to readers of all ages. George’s parents, who have always been wary of technology, warn him about their new neighbors: Eric is a scientist and his daughter, Annie, seems to be following in his footsteps. But when George befriends them and Cosmos, their super-computer, he finds himself on a wildly fun adventure, while learning about physics, time, and the universe. With Cosmos’s help, he can travel to other planets and a black hole. But what would happen if the wrong people got their hands on Cosmos? George, Annie, and Eric aren’t about to find out, and what ensues is a funny adventure that clearly explains the mysteries of science. Gary Parsons’ energetic illustrations add humor and interest, and his scientific drawings add clarity; there are also eight 4-page full-color inserts of scientific photos.

Sounds pretty cool to me.
