'Bicycle Diaries' by David Byrne
![If you've lived in New York some time during the last three decades, you might have seen David Byrne on his bike -- long legs pedaling, bright eyes watching. The erstwhile Talking Head, sometime filmmaker, Brian Eno collaborator and perspicacious blogger has been using two-wheelers as his main mode of transport since the early '80s -- way before green lifestyles were trendy. In part, "Bicycle Diaries" is a tract advocating less dependency on fossil fuels and urging readers to get off their butts. But mostly, these pages offer a travelogue from a keen cultural observer.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2009-09/49380995-21124338.gif "If you've lived in New York some time during the last three decades, you might have seen David Byrne on his bike -- long legs pedaling, bright eyes watching.

Fall preview: books
![Fall, it seems, starts earlier every year. Certainly, that's true of publishing: Jonathan Franzen's "Freedom" — arguably the big book of the season — has been a topic of discussion since mid-August, while other anticipated titles (Tom McCarthy's "C," Scarlett Thomas' "Our Tragic Universe") have been out since Labor Day. Yet this is just the tip of the iceberg; good books await all autumn long. Here, then, is a sample of what we have to look forward to, as the days grow shorter and the evenings stretch before us, waiting to be filled.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2010-09/56061488-09115631.jpg "Fall, it seems, starts earlier every year.

Total Eclipse
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday November 3, 1995 "Total Eclipse" is the art-house equivalent of "Casey at the Bat." Considerable ability has gone into a potential home run scenario, but the result is a big whiff all the way around.

The Basketball Diaries
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday April 21, 1995 "The Basketball Diaries" is a lose-lose proposition. Although it masquerades as a cautionary tale about the horrors of heroin, this epic of teen-age * Angst is more accurately seen as a reverential wallow in the gutter of self-...Tags: Education, Crimes, Ernie Hudson, Entertainment, Health
