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."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

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

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am glad you said this, because I was beginning to think I was the only one who had tear welling from looking at the beautiful libraries.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I just started In Cold Blood. Dear gods Capote is a beautiful writer. It reads like poetry and has an eloquence that I've not read in a very long time. It pulled me in right off and his details and his passion for the story come through immediately. I can picture in my head exactly what Mr. Clutter looked like.
And I'm only on page 15!!
Also we picked up Anansi Boys at B&N the other day. Joe showed me the book (regular sized paperback) and I looked at it and frowned. He asked what was wrong as I whined, "But it doesn't match American Gods. It's too small."
He laughed and laughed at me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I totally get you, Aimee. I was thrilled to see that I could get Anansi Boys to match my (regular sized) American Gods.
