erika, here's a review of the 15th anniversary edition of Homicide: Life on the Streets that I think you'll like.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

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."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Kathy, I finished your copy of Morrigan's Cross. That was fun reading! Hoyt and Cian are just hot.
I'm on the 2nd book of the other series you gave me (Rejar). I like the world she created but the romance book trope of the overbearing man smacks a bit too close to forcing sex, IMO, so I'm overlooking some of that for the sake of the story.

Always Anti-fascist!
Aw, Hecubus, keeping my high-school rep alive, to wit: "Well, there was a guy bleeding on the cover, and I thought of you."(It's true, of course, but too much to carry at sixteen.) But a true Homicide fan would know that the whole idea for that book actually started with a feature on the Homicide unit at Christmas. They made him cut his hair and take his earring out to hang out for the book...how do I know that? Who knows?ETA: I want one, but I already have at least one. At one time I had two, but want all the Special Edition stuff, too. My fake husband is getting his props and moving up in the world.ETA: I'm a little ticked that LaTonya gets the whitefont treatment, but maybe some Wirefiends haven't read it yet, but the fact that that case *doesn't* go down is one of the most special things about that book...it's not fucking "Clue" for god's sake:Colonel Mustard in the rowhouse with the lead pipe.

I'm still drooling.
It's very drool worthy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I thought I linked to that a few weeks ago, although it might have been in a different thread. I actually have that book sitting on my kitchen table, courtesy of (ironically) the Cincinnati Public Library. When I saw that blog post, I immediately went to the library's Web site and put it on reserve. It's even more drool-worthy up close.
I made The Boy look at it with me, and he got to see me totally get my geek on, because I kept *petting* the really amazing pictures. He just laughed, in a nice way.
The last picture, of the Trinity College library, is AMAZING in the book. It's so gorgeous, it makes me want to cry. And lick the picture.

You should GO to the Trinity College library. It's pretty freakin' cool in person too. :)

move out and draw fire
I've seen that linked on this board at least 4 times...and I keep going to look at it each time, just to remind myself of the house I want to have when I grow up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
yeah, the trinity college library is AMAZING in person.

What is even happening?
I think someone needs to write me some post-Chosen Buffy fic set in one of those libraries.
