my lil sister likes Alex Pettyfer for Peeta, but i fear it might be 4 years too late. He's starting to look rather...adult.

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."

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Laga, that was awesome! I especially loved "I'm not going to solve any of your problems"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I laughed out loud at that part.

Hey. New board.
That was awesome. "I'm popular!... but sensitive." made Calvin O'Keefe seem just a little Edward from Twilight which is wrong but funny anyway.

Art Crawl!!!
Game of Thrones tv cover tie-in revealed: here. Interesting choice.
But possibly more about having the pretty girl with the odd-colored hair on the cover than anything more thematic.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
watching the Golden Globes last night made me think of another good choice for President Snow. Steve Buscemi.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Has anybody read Barbara Comyns?
I'm intrigued by her books The Vet's Daughter and Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead.

Has anyone here used LibriVox? It's a website with free recordings of public domain books. I'm looking at a long bus trip and was thinking of listening to a book on my mp3 player. Is the quality good? The readers are volunteers, and I don't know how good they are. (And I'm thinking it could be fun to volunteer myself.)

Connie, the reading quality at Librivox is really a crapshoot. Some of it's okay, some of it is ... not. The worst, I find, is when they have a different reader for each chapter of the book.
The one audiobook I really enjoyed from Librivox was Scaramouche, because the reader was quite good and was able to pronounce the French with some accuracy.
I recommend downloading sample chapters from a few different books and finding a reader you like, then backtracking that reader. I have entire books I got from Librivox I can't listen to because the reader mumbles, or mispronounces words, or just annoys me.
