Oh, that's just really sad.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I, for one, did not feel a need for Little Women and Werewolves [link] Considering Alcott's sensational Gothic stories, she'd be far more likely to write about vampires.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Just picked up Feed today, but DH picked it up first. So I think that means I have to read about werewolves instead of zombies ( i ahave sharp teeth in libaray book form )

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sic the werewolves on the zombies!

Just finished Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. A third of the way into it I was thinking "Why did I read these again? Good god this is awful writing!" But then I got all caught up in the drama and such, and so on.
Sad, though, that this is the last one since the writer died. I wonder what the next book would have involved (apparently he had it like, half written? And an outline for others?) Wonder if it would've involved her twin sister

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Apparently a good chunk of the fourth book is on his laptop and it's in dispute between his long-term girlfriend and his father and brother.
It'll come out eventually, I expect.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just started The Windup Girl, and am loving it. Anyone else read it?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
No, but I keep meaning to pick it up.
I just finished Gimme Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless History of Punk in the Bay Area. Loved it. I never knew The Misfits were persona non grata in the Bay Area, for example.

Yes! Man, he needed a way more heavy handed editor. However, I do know everything about the Swedish secret service now! I imagine that the 4th book must have had something to do with Lisabeth's sister, right? Because she is only briefly mentioned and he was not brief about anything!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
