Harmony ,'Underneath'
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."
I love Cry the Beloved Country. I was just thinking about trying to write a grant for it for next year. But I have to wait for next year to materialize before I can do that. I think it would be perfect for "passion" and it's an easy read.
Yes! I haven't read it in ages but was thinking about it too. I need to reread it.
Ooh, Erin--if you like the plague, and are OK with some scifiness, I recommend books by Ann Benson.
Also Connie Willis's Doomsday Book.
Cool, thanks for the rec's! In the box of shtuff i had stored in my mom's basement was a board game i made in middle school with (fake) rats and fleas as playing pieces. It was very difficult to not die.
Aw, man, I was getting so good about not buying books, and Penguin is releasing more affordable clothbounds: Dracula looks gorgeous. I also love the sailing motif for Gulliver's Travels and the cameos for Middlemarch.
Tries to remind myself that I do not need to own another copy of Middlemarch

What's sad is that I haven't yet read Middlemarch and I still want that book. See also, The Woman in White.
Oooh, my paperback copy of Dracula is falling apart ...
What a beautiful binding for Woman in White! Is there one for The Moonstone?
Ooh, are these more of the Coralie Bickford-Smith editions? She did an amazing job on the first two series.

Yes. But they seem to be coming out piecemeal, not in sets of 10 (9 in the US) like the first two.
