I dunno, I just got a freaky-strange vibe from it but that could be because of the time gaps between Val being home and away.
I agree on Darquesse - there has been strange stuff going on since Playing With Fire (wasn't there a kiss at school too?).

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 there a kiss at school too?
Yes! Which is sort of creepy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grille is great so far. He had me right off the bat with matzoh ball soup and Irish music and I was taken by surprise when it turned out to be a shoot-em-up. The relationship between Billy and Souci is believably aggravating. I've laughed out loud a few times. It almost reminds me of if Carl Hiaasen wrote sci fi. I just got past the surprising twist in the middle, "I don't like cops."
I know I've read some Brust before, for sure some short stories and I'm pretty sure I read the Taltos books but I can't remember a thing about them.

I read Matt Ruff's Bad Monkeys this week. It's a very entertaining read, rather meta (narrative within narrative), deals with questions of good and evil and the proper means of managing them. Not entirely sure I liked it, but I wanted to keep reading.
Ruff is a really interesting writer: everything he writes is entirely different than everything else. I have to respect that, even though it makes it difficult to know whether you'll like the next thing he comes out with.

Actually one thing love about Brust many styles uses one he find suits particular story or series.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I read Bad Monkeys a few months ago and found it very entertaining as well. I definitely liked it. It's one of the most page-turning books I've ever read.

Yup, I would agree it was very page-turning, even when I was going o_0 at Jane's choices.

I read Little Bee yesterday and thought it was AMAZING. Anyone else read it?
