nyc penthouseWith the high cost of living, even most successful New York City residents have to sacrifice living space in order to have a Manhattan zip code. The owner of this 73rd street penthouse is fortunate (rich) enough to not require such sacrifice. The main room of this spacious triplex features a high ceiling and Swiss stone wall to accompany the 15-foot-wide fireplace. The bathroom is something out of a sci-fi movie with glass walls that can be turned opaque for privacy with the flick of a switch. Definitely one swank bachelor pad.

the hobbit hardcoverIf you’re a fan of The Lord of The Rings movie trilogy and/or books, why not read the prequel before the theatrical version comes out? First published in 1937 by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit went on to become a classic fantasy novel and inspire The Lord of The Rings (which wound up being published in three volumes) as well as The Silmarillion. Coming to theaters December 14th 2012 (yep you have to wait a while) The Hobbit film will feature returning cast from The Lord of The Rings and once again be directed by Peter Jackson. It’ll be interesting to see how closely the movie follows the storyline of the book, in which Bilbo Baggins sets off with Gandalf and Dwarves seeking treasure guarded by the dragon Smaug.
