Novels' fictional places get a place of honor on T-shirts

Full story: Chicago Tribune

When author Andrew Vachss looks into the crowd at a book reading, he'll spot bright red T-shirts claiming readers "finished three bowls at Mama's Restaurant." Only, Mama's Restaurant doesn't exist.

Fun idea! How about a shirt for The Capulet Gardens, from Romeo and Juliet?

This is great news and I'm glad to see it covered here. I'd love to see some places pulled from the novels of Robert Parker (Appaloosa) or Lee Child (The Reacher Novels) "Off The Grid" would work for Lee Child since that's where Reacher roams.

These tee's are hilarious and fantastic. I'm one of the geeks who "get it." Would love to see Michael Chabon a la Kaviler & Clay someday.

This is pretty cool; creative shirts for a good cause. I would love to have a T-Shirt from "Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors", a business in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.

I have 3 of these shirts. Great looking and a great cause. Kudos to Lou and to the authors who give the permission.

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Scorpio

Something about your personality or appearance is drawing a lot of attention today, Scorpio. People insist on watching when you'd rather that they minded their own business. Your stubborn streak at a time when flexibility would be easier. Be kind to those with long memories, especially if you think you might run into them again at some point in your life. If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
