NEW YORK (AP) — “Gone Girl” author Gillian Flynn is a familiar name on bestseller lists, but her personal reading tastes run to books most haven’t heard about.

Knee injury rules Messi out of PSG-Metz game midweek

PARIS (AP) — Lionel Messi will miss Paris Saint-Germain’s next French league game at last-placed Metz after a knock to his left knee. Messi was taken off in the 75th minute of his home debut on Sunday, when PSG beat Lyon 2-1 in the league. PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino said he took the decision to replace Messi after noticing the six-time Ballon d’Or winner repeatedly touched his knee. Messi, who hit the crossbar with a curling free kick, looked angry at being taken off. PSG has won its first six league matches to open a five-point lead over second-placed Marseille, which has one match in hand.

Bronze bust unveiled at Burt Reynolds’ Hollywood gravesite

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A plaque and a palm tree weren’t enough to mark the swagger and star power of Burt Reynolds. Anderson and her son with Reynolds, Quinton, chose the spot where Reynolds’ cremated remains were laid to rest in February, because it was next to a palm tree and water, which evoked his native Florida. “It’s absolutely beautiful, it’s exactly what we both envisioned,” Quinton Reynolds told The Associated Press after a brief private ceremony where a crowd of several dozen people who were close to Reynolds gathered to mark the occasion. “That was one of the things we talked about, do we do baby Burt, do we do middle-aged Burt, do we do ‘Smokey’ Burt?’” Anderson told The AP. Cassity told Reynolds’ family and friends at the ceremony that his grave is near those of the heartthrobs of two earlier eras of cinema, Tyrone Power and Rudolph Valentino.

LEADING OFF: Gausman brings bat, arm for NL West-leading SF

An All-Star this year, Gausman made his latest contribution with his bat, not his arm. St. Louis has won nine in a row for the first time since 2004 to solidify its grip on the second NL wild card. He struck out Royals star Salvador Perez, who hit his 46th home run in the opener, tying Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the major league lead. Cincinnati brought up catcher Mark Kolozsvary from the minors on Monday, the same night right-hander Shane Baz made his major league debut for the Tampa Bay Rays against Toronto. Reliever Anthony Gose was brought up by Cleveland for his first major league stint since he was a Detroit outfielder in 2016.

Key hearing set in Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy case

(AP) — A key hearing before a Delaware judge could determine whether the Boy Scouts of America might be able to emerge from bankruptcy later this year. The Boy Scouts, based in Irving, Texas, sought bankruptcy protection in February 2020 amid an onslaught of lawsuits by men who said they were sexually abused as children. It was called for the judge to consider whether the Boy Scouts’ explanation of a reorganization plan, filed in July, contained sufficient detail for abuse claimants to make informed decisions on whether to accept it. The delay is being sought by the official victims committee, along with several law firms and insurance companies. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Laura Selber Silverstein must decide whether to grant the postponement or proceed with the hearing on a disclosure statement outlining the BSA’s reorganization plan.
