Found The Eyre Affair at the thrift store for a dollar. It's being a very good read so far.

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."

Hey. New board.
FYI, that appears to be a link to an unofficial, probably technically illegal rip of the saga. Baen offers a small percentage of their books for free (and almost all of their books for reasonable eBook price with no DRM) on their website, but the entire Vorkosigan saga is not currently available for free.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, I saw that in the comments on IO9 after the fact.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Cryoburn does come with a disk with all the Vorkosigan stories, plus some commentary.

Btw, did everybody know there's an Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies?
There are articles on Torchwood, Lovecraft, Pet Semetary and more.
Get your academic goth on!

The Cryoburn CD specifies that you may copy or share the e-books on the CD. The only restriction is that you may not charge for them.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I finally read "Feed" tonight (I can't think of the pseud, bit it's by Seanan McGuire, and mentions a certain COW in the foreword!! (Shit like that always make me feel warm and fuzzy.))
It was really good. I'd read the first October Daye book, and it was fine, but nothing really outstanding, to my eye -- pleasant. But Feed was really great!!
I liked the conceit, I liked the science, I liked the characterization; it was well-done, and I was very much sucked into the story, and finding out what had happened (although I did twig onto the Bad Guy pretty quickly.)
I immediately pushed it onto my husband, and said "You must read" and usually, our literary tastes only coincide on noir-ish things like Butcher and Simon Green.
