Fragile consisted entire or almost entirely of things that had already been published elsewhere. He even turned his one-off comic "Harlequin" into a short story. [I did not much care for it in either version.]"Sunbird", an homage to R.A. Lafferty gets Lafferty's voice down almost perfectly. [Close enough for me to say he should have cut out the last sentence, but great none-the-less.]
Monty: Whaddya mean she ain't my wife? Mal: She ain't your wife... cause she's married to me.

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."

If you mean "Harlequin Valentine", it was a short story before it was a comic.

OK - too me-centric there. I saw it first as a comic, assumed that was how it started out.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok. Finished American Gods. I liked it. Not usually my cup of tea, but I enjoyed it enough to want to read Anansi Boys when we get a copy. Maybe I'll try Neverwhere. I'll have to re-read in order to say anything more than, "I liked it." But I'm like that with most books.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Awesome! And that book sounds really cool, too.

So after years of saying he didn't like the Harry Potter books and was never reading any more (he skimmed GoF), my DH just pounded through the last two books in 3 days.
He actually really liked Order of the Phoenix , saying that teenage boy anger was perfectly represented. (And also, "Fred and George ROCK!") And he enjoyed HBP, although he doesn't think it was written by JKR.
So needless to say, now that I've kind of purged the books from my mind, I'm being called on to discuss plot theories.
Meanwhile, I've been reading Inkheart, which is a really nice YA book.
