This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

Closed Threads

[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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Little Women readers--do you read the unabridged or an abridged version?

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.

Because books.

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.

That's just ignorant. Keeping in mind, I didn't find Anne till I was almost too old anyway.

I never read Anne until college. I missed a lot of great children's and YA literature at the proper age because as soon as I could read well enough I started reading my mom's library books and picking out books from the adult section.

I did the same thing, Susan. I jumped from children's books to adult stuff around 11-12. I remember reading "Rosemary's Baby" around the time we left Milwaukee and I was 11 then.

I think that is what happened for me too.
