| Maudy Ayunda saat membeli buku |

Selain banyak ilmu yang didapatkan, Maudy juga memiliki wawasan yang luas dari buku-buku yang sudah ia baca.
beberapa alasan agar anda juga giat membaca buku
1. Menghilangkan kebosanan
Setiap kali saya merasa bosan, pasti saya akan mencari buku dengan jalan cerita menarik atau dari penulis favorit untuk dibaca. Cerita yang seru, gaya menulis yang menarik, karakter yang lovable, bisa membuat kita dengan cepat melupakan bahwa kita sedang mengalami kebosanan.
2. Melepaskan stres
Membaca buku bisa membantu melepaskan stres, karena buku—terutama buku fiksi, menawarkan quick escape dari dunia nyata untuk sementara. Kita bisa melupakan (walaupun hanya sementara, sih) jalanan macet, kereta commuter yang superpenuh, atau bos di kantor yang membuat hidup kita tersiksa. Kita bisa dengan cepat tenggelam dalam cerita dan plot yang ada sehingga bisa membuat pikiran lebih rileks.
3. Memperbanyak kosakata
Dengan membaca buku, kita akan menemukan banyak kosakata baru yang mungkin belum pernah kita tahu sebelumnya. Apalagi kalau kita membaca buku bahasa Inggris atau bahasa lain selain Indonesia, selain kosakata, kita juga bisa belajar ejaan dan struktur kalimat. Buat yang memang pekerjaannya banyak berhubungan dengan menulis pasti akan sangat terbantu dengan banyak membaca.

“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded.”

Eragon
 |
| Cover by John Jude Palencar, featuring the blue dragon Saphira |
Eragon is the first book in the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, who began writing at the age of 15. After writing the first draft for a year, he spent a second year rewriting it and fleshing out the story and characters. Paolini's parents saw the final manuscript and decided to self-publish Eragon. Paolini spent a year traveling around the United States promoting the novel. By chance, the book was discovered by Carl Hiaasen, who got it re-published by Alfred A. Knopf. The re-published version was released on August 26, 2003.
The book tells the story of a young farm boy named Eragon, who finds a mysterious stone in the mountains. A dragon he later names Saphira hatches from the stone, which was really an egg. When the evil King Galbatorix finds out about Eragon and his dragon, he sends his servants, the Ra'zac, after them in an effort to capture them. Eragon and Saphira are forced to flee from their hometown, and decide to search for the Varden, a group of rebels who want to see the downfall of Galbatorix.
Critiques of Eragon often pointed out the similarities to other works such as Earthsea and Dragonlance. Reviews also called the book a notable achievement for such a young author as Paolini. Eragon was the third-best-selling children's hardback book of 2003, and the second-best-selling paperback of 2005. It placed on the New York Times Children's Books Best Seller list for 121 weeks. Eragon was adapted into a feature film of the same name that was released on December 15, 2006.
Origins and publication
Christopher Paolini started reading fantasy books when he was ten years old. At the age of fourteen, as a hobby, Paolini started writing the first novel in a series of four books, but he could not get beyond a few pages because he had "no idea" where he was going. He began reading everything he could about the "art of writing", and then plotted the whole Inheritance Cycle book series. After a month of planning out the series, he started writing the draft of Eragon by hand. It was finished a year later, and Paolini began writing the "real" version of the book. After another year of editing, Paolini's parents saw the final manuscript.
They immediately saw its potential and decided to publish the book through their small, home-based publishing company, Paolini International. Paolini created the cover art for this edition of Eragon, which featured Saphira's eye on the cover. He also drew the maps inside the book.
Paolini and his family toured across the United States to promote the book. Over 135 talks were given at bookshops, libraries, and schools, many with Paolini dressed up in a medieval costume; but the book did not receive much attention. Paolini said he "would stand behind a table in my costume talking all day without a break – and would sell maybe forty books in eight hours if I did really well. It was a very stressful experience. I couldn't have gone on for very much longer." In the summer of 2002, American novelist Carl Hiaasen was on vacation in one of the cities that Paolini gave a talk in. While there, his stepson bought a copy of Eragon that he "immediately loved". He showed it to his stepfather, who brought the book to the attention of the publishing house Alfred A. Knopf. Michelle Frey, executive editor at Knopf, contacted Paolini and his family to ask if they were interested in having Knopf publish Eragon. The answer was yes, and after another round of editing, Knopf published Eragon in August 2003. It also led to a new cover, drawn by John Jude Palencar.
Abrams: Star Wars script is ready
 |
| Press Association - JJ Abrams confirmed that a script for Star Wars: Episode VII is ready |
uk.yahoo.com - JJ Abrams has revealed that the script for Star Wars: Episode VII has been written.
The Star Trek filmmaker, who is taking the directing reins on the upcoming instalment of George Lucas' sci-fi series, admitted that work is now under way for the movie, reported The Wrap.
"We're working really hard and we've got our script and we're in deep prep. Full steam ahead," he said at a Television Critics Association panel.
JJ wouldn't be drawn into the length of the film, and remained tight-lipped over the casting.
He admitted he has met with Breaking Bad star Jesse Plemons, but played down the rumours about the actors he is said to have approached for roles.
"He is one of the actors that we've talked to," the director said. "But it's not often that I read about actors that I'm going to be meeting. I get to read articles about actors who are going to come in.
"And so I get to see someone and say, 'Oh, I read that I was going to see you!'... It's usually agents talking to people about what's happening. It's a lot of noise."
JJ added: "It's sweet because it shows that there's an interest in this movie that we all obviously know is there. But it is an incredible thing to see how many crazy things get thrown out that people then often write commentaries about. How happy they are, how disappointed they are about something that is completely false."
Michael Fassbender, Hugo Weaving and Girls star Adam Driver are the latest batch of names linked to Star Wars: Episode VII, while Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher are tipped to reprise their original roles.
The film will be released in December 18, 2015.
Streep: I said no to August role
 |
| Press Association - Meryl Streep first declined her role in August: Osage County |
uk.yahoo - Meryl Streep has revealed that she first passed on playing Violet Weston in August: Osage County, the role which has led to Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
The Oscar-winning actress admitted that she initially declined the part of the cancer sufferer and sharp-tongued matriarch in John Wells' big-screen adaptation of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play, because she had doubts about immersing herself into the character.
"I said no, I really did. But they dragged me in, kicking and screaming," she said.
Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, Ewan McGregor and Benedict Cumberbatch also star in the dysfunctional family drama, which focuses on the relationships between the family members after they are reunited, following a crisis.
"I said no because who really wants to sign up to know what it feels like to have mouth cancer and children that hate you and a husband who'd rather kill himself than be in your presence, and chemotherapy, pills and misery and a horrible past?" Meryl continued.
"To crawl into that head, that heart, I thought, 'Ah'. Because part of that pain is, you realise as you get older, these things cost you more in a weird way. You carry them home, you feel you bleed more easily with it."
The 64-year-old added: "Having said that, it's a great part and as an actor, I thought, 'Hell'. Such a cast. How could I not?"
Meryl, who has received a number of nominations for her performance, will face Dame Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock and Amy Adams for the best actress award at the Oscars on March 2.
-August- Osage County opens in cinemas on January 24.
