Life plan: Fill days then fill pages

August 19, 2008|By SUSAN REIMER

And now she is going to be played by Amy Adams in a movie written by Nora Ephron. Meryl Streep will play the famous chef, and there is already Oscar buzz.

And they are making a movie out of A.J. Jacobs' attempt to spend a year living biblically. But that's only because a film about the year he spent reading 33,000 pages of the encyclopedia might put audiences to sleep. When you try to live biblically, you can count on plenty of conflict to drive the story line.

There are happy endings as well. Remember Headley, the woman who went on all those dates?

She met a great guy and married him.

I have a couple of titles that I am thinking about: Type II Diabetes: A Year of Eating Spaghetti. And Rehab: 365 Days of White Wine.

Frankly, I think these titles would fly off the bookshelves, and I'd enjoy the work.

Scarlett Johansson should play me in the movie.
