If you mourned the passing of Where the Wild Things Are author Maurice Sendak, you might enjoy flipping through I Am a Pole (And So Can You!), the 32-page "children's book" Stephen Colbert pitched Sendak during their interview. For more adult fare, perhaps now's the time to finally start reading Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series, upon which HBO's True Blood is based. Deadlocked, the 12th book, recently hit shelves. Plow through the book series before the show returns June 10.

Meanwhile, in the NBA playoffs, slam-dunking Blake Griffin and the Los Angeles Clippers will try to put away the pesky Memphis Grizzlies this weekend.
