Admit it, those classic books everyone is forced to read in high school are totally booooooooring. They make you want to take a nap. In fact, they’re probably better suited for napping than for reading. At least with these Olde Book Pillow Classics Pillow Books you can really cozy up with a good book. You can’t read them but you can certainly get cozy with them because they’re actually pillows.

It’s not like you were going to make very far into the real books before passing out anyway. Cut right to the chase. These “books” come in Alice in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, or Treasure Island. Alice in Wonderland is the only one that opens though. All are made from a polyester outer, polyester fiber filling and polyurethane foam. Definitely beats trying to nap on a Kindle.

Screen Grabs Elementary pilot has Sherlock Holmes using murder victim's Lumia 800

Whether you're a fan of CBS's Elementary spin on Sherlock Holmes or not, it sure gave a nice amount screen-time to cellphones in its pilot. While there was prominent use of iPhones in the episode, we're highlighting a seemingly forced Nokia Lumia 800 cameo -- you'd think it would at least be the 900 being an American series. The camera takes a tight shot of Sherlock swiping through photos on a murder victim's black Lumia twice, highlighting the Nokia logo and Windows Phone 7.5 gallery interface. Here's your clue to see it for yourself: check around the 8-minute mark at the source link below.
