Required reading from the week in books.

"Bringing Down the House" author Ben Mezrich takes a look at the home of zombie quizzes and SuperPokes in "
The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook." Expect dozens of annoying invites to become a fan of the book on Facebook.

While "
The Big Rewind"
may sound like yet another pop-culture-addled "woe is me" memoir, it's endorsed by both Roger Ebert and Patton Oswalt. Not bad company to keep.

Steve Hely's "
How I Became a Famous Novelist" gives the literary world the skewering it so rightly deserves. That d--k Thomas Pynchon has gotten a free ride for too long. Would it kill him to pose for a photo once in a while?

The second volume of "
Justice League International" features more misadventures of the comically mismatched late-'80s incarnation of DC's premiere superhero team. Will Guy Gardner drive Batman crazy? And will Martian Manhunter ever put down the Oreos?

"The Big Rewind" Sounds like a fun read, I'll have to pick it up sometime.
