Right, I don't /enjoy/ it in the traditional sense, but.... appreciate is probably a much better word. I obviously don't enjoy the tons of dead people in these books. That's no fun. And regarding what I said in my last post, it's definitely supposed to be unclear. Gale and Beetee were talking about designing a bomb that did that, but you can infer whatever you want from it, I think. It's not like either side wouldn't have had the technology to do it.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

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."

Steph, I'm over half way with Mortal Coil, and OMG I don't think I like where this is going. I can only read 5 or 10 pages a day 'cause it's my lunchtime reading but man, I'm afraid!
Be afraid. I'm still kind of bug-eyed over a thing. I can't wait until you finish it!

Crap! If it goes where I think it's going, then CRAP! And if so, then Derek Landy is hard core!

Where do you think it's going? I will neither confirm nor deny or even hint. In fact, I will just reply with a post consisting of "Huh." I'm just curious.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I finished the Hunger Games trilogy - emotionally wrenching, to say the least.
Question re Beetee - does he like echidnas?

Where do you think it's going
One of two ways remnant in Val = Darquesse or remnant in Val's reflection but I'm not sure how that could happen. Just seems like that's where it's going. And either way, it's not good.

One of two ways
Huh. (Just like I promised!)

Huh.
I tell you it is KILLING me not to be able to sit down and just read. Stupid work and lame home stuff that have to be done...

Okay, here's what happens: Skulduggery joins a convent, Valkyrie goes into business with her Dad, and Ghastly reveals that he's the Masked Dancer at the All-Male Magical Revue.
What? It could happen!

Hahahaha! I can totally see Ghastly in an All-Male Revue!
I gotta finish this over the weekend.
