Re The Amber Spyglass, the part I was talking about was when Lyra and Pan got separated. Gah, so many tears!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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."

Wasn't E. Nesbit quite the sexy babe as well as having the scandalous, revolutionary lifestyle?
I think you're thinking of Evelyn Nesbit, the chorus girl (aka The Girl on the Swing) [link] . E. Nesbit the author looked like this: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
No, Edith Nesbit was herself rather an extravagant figure, a founder of the Fabian society and follower of Wm. Morris, in an open marriage, smoking and drinking and swanning about in the Victorian era.

Speaking of Pullman, has anyone read the Sally Lockhart trilogy? I just started the 3rd book ( The Tiger in the Well). They are not His Dark Materials, but they are really good. Too bad the covers are so unappealing.

Glam, that was sad, but I thought it made no sense and was very confused about why she wasn't dying, so that distracted from the emotional context.

Ah, when William Morris meant Communism and not Talent Agents. Those were the days.

Sorry. I remember a few months ago when someone was looking for pictures with a certain look, and I posted one of Evelyn Nesbit, somebody responded with something like, "Wow, I had no idea when I was reading her children's books that she was such a sexy babe," so I figured it was the same mistake again.
