Sox, I bought Machine of Death on the Amazon day (and used the buffista affiliate link!) but haven't had a chance to read it yet, so remind me and I'll loan it to you.
ETA: Slumbernut. And I'm "Raq" on GR.
Simon: Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword. Zoe: I think he knows which end to hold.

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."

Thanks to the people who added me on Goodreads; I have friends there now! I also just made a feeble attempt to re-rate all the books I've read - I hand out five stars like candy. I just really like a lot of what I read.
Random question inspired by some books I was looking at in the library today: Is anyone a Discworld fan? I've read Good Omens, which I love, but that's only half Pratchett, and then we started reading Monstrous Regiment, one of the Discword books, in a class once but we didn't finish.
I think they would be books I'd very much enjoy but there's just so damn many of them, I wouldn't know where to begin.

Is anyone a Discworld fan?
I love Discworld. And coincidentally enough, I just went through the Watch books, which are as good a place to start as any. Otherwise, take a look at the reading order guide.
My favorites are Thief of Time and Hogfather. My first book was Lords and Ladies. Really, you can pick up any book and enjoy it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think they would be books I'd very much enjoy but there's just so damn many of them, I wouldn't know where to begin.
I highly recommend his Tiffany Aching books, about a girl witch's education.
The first one The Wee Free Men is both very good and very, very funny.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
This strikes me as being about us.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Reading _Feed_ and every time Buffy is mentioned i picture a teenage Penelope Garcia. I just can't help it.

Ha! Seanan hasn't seen the show, but I showed her a picture, and she can totally see it.

There is a new picture book out called Spork. I'm thinking of getting it for my cousin's son.

Not ita, but you check out library books to Adobe Digital Editions, plug your Nook into your computer, DE recognizes the Nook, you copy your books to the Nook with drag and drop, and you can read them until they expire or, use DE to return them so you can check out more and delete the read ones from the Nook.
