Oh, DER. I knew that.
Slap my hand now!

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just finishes reading Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby. Any of you read it? I loved his take on internet culture.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Jason just finished it and liked it a lot. It's next on my list after I finish Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I read it recently and liked it a lot (and I blogged about it for work). One of my favorite things about Hornby's books is that he understands the nature of fannish behavior extremely well, so he's able to depict it with compassion and a knowing wink, but also to poke fun at it and point out its darker side without coming across as saying "Fans are straight-up crazy."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I don't know if this would be the right thread, but I hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere else on the board - Dick Francis died last week.

Always Anti-fascist!
He can because he is such a fanboy.

Kate, I think that's exactly some of the appeal. One of the things I was really struck with was how Duncan allowed Tucker to see his work more distinctly even though Duncan himself was often so wrongheaded and off target on so many things generally.

Coding and Sleeping
I finished The Golden Compass audiobook not too long ago, and I have to say that it was a great "read" and an awesome audiobook production. It had a cast instead of a single narrator and they were great at doing the voices.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
