Too long?
It seems like an average length for SFF books that came out at that time.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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."

Of course, the Language of sand was another book that could have sent us to the dictionary ( The main character was a lexicographer ) , but it actually had the definitions in the book

FYI: today's Groupon is $10 for $20 at Barnes & Noble. They are, however, slammed right now, and people can't log in through the main site. (You can log in through their backup site -- my. groupon. com.)

I like Colette's Cheri, and Marguerite Duras' The Lover -- although The Lover is definitely a novel, although it is a slim one. It's very dense.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
I'm wondering if there are enough classics, or contemporary classics, to do a "Food and Drink" theme for the salon. I can think of a number of movies that revolve around meals or food, but the only obvious novel that comes to mind is Zola’s The Belly of Paris. Ideas?
I’d also like to do something on “Royals and Rulers.” Can people recommend other books along the lines of Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel?
