Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
billytea - Oh hooray! I think I love that one the most. (Although I still have a couple in my in-progress pile, to be fair.) And the narrative style is a big part of that. I can't find it at the moment but there was a nice interview with Miles talking about his desire to be more experimental.
I like it when authors take risks like that, and I think it mostly paid off here. It certainly made reading the book fun.
Sherlock S1/Rose Madder
What?
Mark just got to The Prom.
There are some commenters who really despise Xander for being true to form for a teenaged boy. Have they never known teenaged boys?
Rose Madder the Stephen King novel, Plei?
Maybe they do know teenaged boys and that's why they hate them. True to life doesn't ensure likeability.

Did you ever listen to the bit of the audio I emailed? I feel bad because you can't really drop into the middle and follow the story, but in the course of the series you can see (well, hear) him playing with the format. The first couple are pretty traditional, and then the scope expands, and there are experiments with narration, and the last one makes Memento look straightforward.
Warning, Mark just posted on Graduation Day, and it's another capslock-fest.

Usually Mark's love of capslocks doesn't bother me, but that much bold capslock should be illegal.
Which is why I enjoyed this part:
Can I also just say how nice it is to have Anya be around? I'm really fascinated by her character, so much so that I don't need to all-caps yell anything at you.
