奧斯卡週末:除了電影還有書籍可閱讀
Oscar weekend is here, and we've got movies on the brain – and on our Kindles, iPads and nightstands. Aside from watching Hollywood, we're reading about it, and catching up on some of the books that have inspired it.
奧斯卡週末在這裏，在腦海、ipad和kindle以及牀頭櫃中我們已經有了電影。除了觀看好萊塢，我們也在閱讀它，惡補激發電影靈感的一些書籍。
Look below to see some of our recent staff favorites, and let us know what you're reading in the comments. After all, a book club's no fun without a good conversation.
請看下面就能看到我們最近一些員工的最愛，在評論中讓我們知道您正在閱讀。畢竟一個讀書俱樂部沒有一個好的談話就沒有樂趣。

Her pick: Rita Moreno: A Memoir
Just about every star writes a memoir eventually, and I read most of them for my job. It's great when they surprise you like this one does: Who knew that West Side Story star (and Oscar winner) Moreno had a long affair with Marlon Brando in his hunky days – and dated Elvis to make him jealous? The King, by the way, wasn't much of a lover – he'd grind those hips while dancing with her but avoided anything more. Turns out there's way more to Moreno than "I like to be in America..."

她的選擇：麗塔•莫里諾《回憶錄》
幾乎所有明星最後都會寫一本回憶錄，因爲工作我閱讀了其中大多數。當他們像這本一樣讓你驚喜時這是很棒的：誰知道《西區故事》的明星(奧斯卡獎得主) 莫里諾與馬龍•白蘭度在他性感迷人的時期有一段風流韻事，並與Elvis約會來讓他嫉妒？順便說一下，貓王也沒有太多的情人——和她跳舞時他會折磨那些俏臀，此外並無其他。原來對莫里諾來說有比“我喜歡在美國……”更多的方式。

Her pick: Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood and the Prison of Belief by Lawrence Wright
I almost missed my subway stop this morning because I was so into this book! It's got seamen marooned in foreign countries, dramatic marriages, black magic, and it's not even fiction. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the controversial religion that makes some of the stars we cover at PEOPLE so fascinating. Plus, it's a nice break from all the fashion magazines piled in my office.

她的選擇：勞倫斯賴特的《Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood and the Prison of Belief 》
我今天早上幾乎錯過了地鐵，因爲我如此沉迷這本書！它有被困國外的海員、戲劇性的婚姻、黑魔法，它甚至不是小說。這是從幕後來看爭議的宗教，使一些我們在《people》上報道的明星如此迷人。另外，在所有堆在我辦公室的時尚雜誌中這是一個不錯的突破。

Her pick: Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Like every American kid I learned about Honest Abe in school, but the movie Lincoln made me curious about who he really was. Goodwin's biography, which inspired the film, brings him to life. He was so brilliant at persuading people, and such a romantic figure: tall, brooding, always the smartest guy in the room. I wish I'd known him (even if he wasn't as handsome as Daniel Day-Lewis).

她的選擇：桃麗絲•古德文寫的《對手團隊:政治天才林肯》
像美國的每一個孩子一樣我在學校學習《Honest Abe》，但是這部電影《林肯》讓我好奇他他到底是誰。古德溫的傳記，激發了這部電影的靈感，使他生動起來。他在說服人民方面那麼聰明，如此浪漫的一個人：個高、冥思苦想，總是房間裏最聰明的傢伙。我希望我能認識他(即使他不像丹尼爾•戴•劉易斯那樣帥氣)。
