In Illuminatus!, Dutch's problem was that he was having a conversation across time with someone else. These things always cause confusion.
River: I didn't think you'd come for me. Simon: Well, you're a dummy.

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."

I knew someone here would know. I just ran across it in another book, but I think it was in there as a Dutch ref, not as an Illuminatus ref.
Of course, everything's connected to the Loomers somehow.

Here's a movie summarizing 12 volumes of A Series of Unfortunate Events in 120 seconds. Narrated by Tim Curry.

Hey. New board.
That was fun! I rather disliked the first book - the style bugged - but I find the concept amusing. And I always like Tim Curry talking at me.
Plus, -The End- is the best book title EVER.

OK, is it a serial post if it's days later?
I don't know why this surprises me, but I just discovered that people are getting the Phaedre's tattoo from the Kushiel series: [link]
(except for one person who randomly got a happy drow goddess from D&D with the motto from the book)

Some of those tattoos are really really beautiful.
Pity about the novel they're based on (I really disliked it and had to put the first one down about 200 pages in).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wow, those are some big, expensive tattoos.
You didn't see the guy with a Stargate on his back at Comic-Con.
