And at some point during this sequence, is it revealed that there is another?
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

OK, I'm just off to Derbyshire.

Missed some obvious ones.
Edna O'Brien is famously babely.
John Irving (on the left, with his taller son) is also a looker and has the wrestler's physique.
He's also turned into a Silver Fox.
I also think Doris Lessing was pretty hot back in the fifties before she settled into her wise crone mode.
Caroline Blackwood was famous as a beauty before she was a writer.
Ted Hughes had the rough hewn thing.

Yeah, the guy who did that piece really limited himself with five. And I was surprised Hughes wasn't on there, too. He was all broody and angsty, too.
