My favorite was The Odyssey. (Heh, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is good 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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
My favorite last words are the ones attributed to Giles Corey during the Salem Witch Trials. He was being pressed (i.e. stuck between boards with weight piled up on the top board), because he refused to declare himself innocent or guilty (by doing so, he didn't give up rights to his property). His last words were supposedly "More weight!"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anybody else read Faye Kellerman? Specifically, does anyone remember which book was the first one with Chris Donatti? I can't remember, and don't feel like going through my whole shelf searching. (Also, could she possibly use less descriptive titles? Aside from the first one, and then Milk and Honey being the one with the bees, and Jupiter's Bones the one with the guy named Jupiter, and maybe one or two others, I can never remember which title goes with which story.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Google says, "Stone Kiss"

No, "Stone Kiss" was the second one. The first one was when he was a teenager.
OK, I checked the author's website. It was "Justice."

He's been in more than one? I used to read her books, but I stopped after the one where Peter's oldest daughter (the one on the police force) had the horrific car accident.

He's been in three now. The first one, where he was the suspect in the prom killing (or something -- it's been a while since I read that one); the second one was where he's an adult and mobbed up and ends up helping Decker with finding a missing teenage girl in NY; and then he shows up again as a major character in the latest one. I think that he was mentioned, and maybe one or two phone calls to him, in a few others. It's developed into a totally screwed-up father figure relation with Decker, and an even more screwed-up relationship with Terry and his own kid.
