'Shindig'
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."
I'd like to read the "Grave Sight" series, but I'm waiting till the first one comes out in paperback. Or I can find it at a UBS.
I've read all the Sookie books -- they are entertaining, but light. Sometimes Sookie annoys me, but her character develops in the series as you read along.
Good poolside or Sunday afternoon reading, IMO.
Good lord. One of the blogs I read quoted this today:
From John Updike's Brazil:
"Standing with her [Isabel] in the warming waterfall, soaping her skin so its yielding silk was overlaid with a white grease, and then letting her soap him [Tristão] in turn, he felt his cashew become a banana, and then a rippled yam, bursting with weight."
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
What the fuck?
I think the world has run out of penis metaphors.
Apparently.
Oh, dear.
I'm pretty horrified that "bursting" is used as a descriptive before they actually get to the sex, let alone finish it. Sounds painful.
I wonder how he felt about being described as a cashew. "The water's very cold!"
"I WAS IN THE POOL!"
Probably had to pick from native nuts (insert puns here.)
Are cashews native to Brazil? I mean, brazil nuts?
