Alright.\n\n\n\n 2. \"Sofa King\": Sofa King great.\n\n\n\n 3. \"Art Dealers\": Because somewhere these people exist.\n\n\n\n  4. \"Bronx Beat\": Tell me about it.\n\n\n\n 5. \"Super Showcase\": Beef sounds right.\n\n\n\n Bonus! \"Body Fuzon\" for your low impact workout needs.\n\n\n\n\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n2. Read about Life Aboard the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush. Writer Geoff Dyer has lived it, and, bonus!, lived to tell about it.

Here, an outtake from his conversation with Kevin Lincoln.\n\n GQ: What&amp;amp;#x2019;s the biggest difference between American and French movies?\n\n Omar Sy: First, it was my first movie in English! And of course, how can I say it, the money they put in\u2014it&amp;amp;#x2019;s a big budget, a very big team, a lot of money to do the movie. It makes a big difference when you&amp;amp;#x2019;re an actor. We were like a kid with a very big, expensive toy.\n\n\n\n\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n4. Get that just-read-a-novel feeling in about twenty pages in Funny Once.
