	Crash
		Cut To: The Fatal Crash of James Dean, the most interesting scene in the movie, that is, the staging of the James Dean death crash by Vaughan and his partner Seagrave on a lonely road which just happens to have some bleachers for the small audience of Crash Theatre devotees.
		The plot of Crash is simple: a young TV ad director, James Ballard (Spader), falls in with an avant-garde theatre group led by a former expert in computerized traffic systems called Vaughan (Koteas), who stages clandestine re-enactments of the crash-deaths of famous media icons such as James Dean and Jayne Mansfield.
		for example, the car crash is a fertilizing rather than a destructive event, a liberation of sexual energy, mediating the sexuality of those who have died with an intensity that's impossible for any other form....

	Books : The Great American Novel
		Philip Roth's THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL is a big, bulbous, brocaded, bullshooting joke whether viewed from the box seats behind home plate or way in the back row of the right field bleachers-but let me not get pulled into the alliterative traps in which Roth indulges himself by way of his narrator, one Word Smith.
		This novel fizzles out by the end, but before that comes some of the most hilarious and entertaining writing you can possibly read.
		In this ribald, richly imagined, and wickedly satiric novel, Roth turns baseball's status as national pastime and myth into an occasion for unfettered picaresque farce, replete with heroism and perfidy, ebullient wordplay and a cast of characters that includes the House Un-American Activities Committee.

	Bleachers, The King of Tort by John Grisham - reviews
		As it is a rather short novel, for the most part it made for a very fast read; however, there were some parts of the story that seemed to drag a little.
		In my opinion Grisham is the best author in that genre and should return to writing those types of novels.
		On Friday nights, the entire town of Messina waited for the gate to open, then rushed to the bleachers, where seats were claimed and nervous pre-game rituals were followed."

	Amazon.com: Bleachers: Books: John Grisham
		You've read Bleachers, John Grisham's newest bestseller, many times in a thousand other books, many of them better than this somewhat undersized novel.
		Grisham demonstrated he could produce bestsellers without legal aid with The Painted House and Skipping Christmas, and he'll undoubtedly do so again with this slight but likable novel of high school football, a legendary coach and the perils of too early fame.
		While the book falls short of the compelling storytelling that has made Grisham a bestselling author, it is nonetheless a diverting novella that succeeds as light fiction.

	Book Beat
		Here comes a book, not a novel, holding a morbid fascination for those interested in the life of Ayn Rand (1905-1982) and in the Objectivist movement born of her ideas and the organizational efforts of her erstwhile disciple, psychologist Nathaniel Branden, who met her when he was twenty and Rand was forty-five.
		One can virtually hear the author yelling from the bleachers, cheering Ayn Rand on as she struggles to make sense of Branden's protestations during the long-drawn-out devolution of their affair; as if she were hitting lobs out of the park with each new observation and query.
		According to their eventual accounts, Nathaniel Branden and Ayn Rand had a somewhat tumultuous affair, starting when Nathaniel was in his early twenties, and with the knowledge and consent of their spouses.
