UA was awesome, but they shouldn't release a slew of diaries and stuff. I'm curious to hear exactly WHEN Violet would ever have the time after book seven/eight to write down anything at all. Plus I pretty much hate epistolaries. I'm all for hearing about Count Olaf's plan book though. ("I think I'll dress as a girl this time! :D")
But how would Duncan end up being murdered and Isadora only accidentally killed? Unless Duncan got murdered by Quig--o shi

Quigley. Wouldn't put it past him.

Olaf's plan book would be fun "This time I'll cram my left leg into a wooden peg that logically should be too narrow to fit it!" "And this time I'll wear a turban and make up lame excuses --about religious reasons--for not taking it off!" One good side of the hypothetical Violet's diary: We find out what went on between her and Quigley Or maybe not. We may find out about her and Duncan, and which of the two triplets she liked the best. "Duncan, like, likes me, and I, like, like him" Let's hope Violet doesn't, like, like to write like that. I''ve just made the word "like" not sound like a word anymore.

Hey, it's Tocuna. I was wondering if you were going to register or not. I don't think that any of them would like, write like that. They speak such proper English that there's no way the writing would be crazy. It would be funny though.

It'd be like:
"I felt so frightened of Olaf today I could scarcely get out of bed today"

If they made Duncans and Isadoras notebooks, itll be pretty hard to make them before the series end. Because they have all of the secrets of V.F.D. in them. DH would have to cross out a lot of stuff in them. Like when he crossed out some of the stuff from the Daily Punctillio in LSUA

Its likely that those rumors are inaccurate (thought they are prolly on the right trail), becuase duncan and isadora's notebooks were both destroyed by esme's shooty thingy, but it is possible that they write other notebooks so you never know.

I dont' think either violet's diary or klaus's journal would be very interesting, it owuld just be a restatement of the ASOUE books from first person.

Exactly. But if there EVER is more autobiographies of Mr. Snicket, I hope they have one of the following titles, created by Master Lemony himself: First I will give you the text as it is very entertaining: To amuse myself during this nineteen-hour wait, I have written down several possible titles for a book about my own life. I do not expect I will ever write such a book, but perhaps someday someone will, and you can provide them with this information if they ask for it.
{or steal it...}

I agree with Ambidextrous Kevin, LS should announce the books better!

I'm pretty sure that's the British edition of the autobio. Here's a picture of it from UnfortunateEvents.com:

"Behind the scenes with Count Olaf" is unfortunately a movie-based book written in first person. I read a blurb somewhere. It makes me want to cry... AHHHH why isn't my paste button working? Oh no... ok for some reason I can't paste the summary or the link but if you type it into google and go to the second link down you'll find it *Jams keyboard repeatedly* DAMN YOU WINDOWS XP! DAMN YOU! Ahem... As for diaries... when the hell did Violet keep a diary? Although i'd quite like to see that list, it looks mostly like a rumour. The Quagmire notebooks would be nothing but torn unreadble pages of scribbles because everything there explains VFD. I think someone made the whole thing up for there own amusement, or for ideas for future books.

I found the blurb from Harper Collins:
<<Are you standing up? Well, you'd better be, because you're about to give a standing ovation!!! Come behind the scenes of the Greatest Film Ever Made with me -- Count Olaf -- the movie's unspeakable dashing writer, director, producer, art director, cameraman, stuntman, set designer, and star!
You'll get:
Rare behind-the-scene photos of me, looking extremely handsom!
An absolutely spectacular fire!
The last moments of several useless extras!
Top-secret costume designs that could make even orphans look good!
A robotic monkey dressed as a baby!
One of the largest manmade bodies of water ever constructed, with the exception of reservoirs and other artificial lakes!
Your favorite moments from the film, with candid remarks by me, moviemaking genius!
Other Hollywood hijinx!
If you don't buy this book, you'll regret it. (That's not a joke.) So join Count Olaf -- that's me! -- on this journey through the magical movieland of my mind!
>>
Now, what confuses me is: Was that Olaf speaking, or Jim Carrey?
