AmyLiz, I've been meaning to compliment you on your tag. I adore Little Women, and re-read it at least once a year.
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.

Oh, me too. It's one of my reading comfort foods. That and A Little Princess. It's time to change it, though. Christmas, sadly, is over.
I've been trying to figure out where your tag is from, too, because I'm sure I've heard it...

Little Women readers--do you read the unabridged or an abridged version? I tried the unabridged and kept tripping on the preachy parts.

Fight Club. Tyler Durden said it in the middle of a rant about popular culture. Though IIRC, he said "YOU are not your goddamned khakis." I just wanted it to be first-person, b/c of some stuff I've been churning around in my head for a while. (Stuff that I haven't talked about yet -- here or in LJ.)

I grew up reading the abridged version, and then it fell apart, so I bought a new copy, not realizing it was unabridged. I skip the preachy parts. It's an excellent example of the way judicious editing helps.

I love Fight Club. I knew it sounded familiar. I'd love to friend your LJ, by the way, because I lurk there a lot. I love to read what you write. I think you share my brain sometimes.

I had no idea there was an abridged version! And I have no idea which mine is. I'll have to check. Hmmm.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I read the unabridged one, but it's been years since I picked it up.
I was glancing through an abridged version of Anne of Green Gables at the bookstore today. It was horrid. They didn't just remove sections, they totally rewrote everything. All that beautiful description gone, with just simple declarative sentences in its place.

Oh, friend away, by all means! What's your LJ nom de plume?

It's amy37. I'll do it now. And then I have to finish freelance copyediting before I conk out. Bleh.

I want to find everyone involved in creating this atrocity and beat them up.
