I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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 just poked around their website and found some stuff, but it's not nearly as nice as rummaging through a used book store.

I doubt they'd mail me those bookshelves anyway.

You're not helping, Hec.

Who said I was helpful?

I think "taunty" is the word you're looking for.

It really is excellent for rummaging. Particularly with all the vintage movie magazines from 1916 through the fifties.

Plus they've got all these odd little bits and pieces stashed away on the shelves. Old pulp mags. Zines. Vintage photographs and postcards. Pretty much everything collectable on paper.

Thrive to spite them

Why are they closing?

The owner's retiring after 25 years of running the bookstore, and longer than that in the business.

Hey Taunty McTauntpants, that's going over the line. You can stop now.

Maybe I should retaliate by going to the Stax Museum or Sun Studio to look at music memorabillia this weekend?

Ann, that's a ferret.

And then I can...

Rats. I need to move to a city with some life in it.
