Deborah Grabien had an encounter with Tepper years ago where Tepper told Grabien she was a betrayer of everything feminist for wearing makeup and (I think) high heels. Someone who wanted to search B.org deeply enough could find the exact quote.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

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."

Have you heard Stephen Briggs' audiobook, Jilli? I think you would find it a comfort.
I haven't! I do need to get those audiobooks, as being read to is one of the most comforting things in the world for me.

even the ones in Monstrous Regiment, which annoyed me for reasons I cannot recall at the moment
I didn't like that one either, and I'm not sure why. I think it tried too hard. Vimes being all ducal and surly was nice. He does good walk-ons.

You could probably check it out of the library.
And then, I don't know, put it on your computer and then your portable device of listening.
Or just buy it, I guess, since Pratchett should enjoy his royalties now.

Ding ding ding! If I don't spend all my money at the gothy/punk craft fair on Sunday, I'll buy it. After all, I'm only going to the show to buy more resin crow skulls. How much damage to my pocketbook could I do?
(Don't answer that.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I solemnly swear I will not purchase any sort of hat or hair accessory. No matter what pretty object Carlee from Noxenluxe waves at me.

I didn't say you couldn't buy, I just know how much damage you can do when faced with bird skulls that can be attached to you head or put in jewelry. Carlee does amazing work. She makes me want to put bird skulls on my head.
Which makes sense in context. And makes me sound like a sociopath out of it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Pix, have you considered something by Angela Carter? I can't think of any specific titles at the moment, but her name popped into my head.

Always Anti-fascist!
What I can conclude from that is that one time, Tepper had at least an unconscious death wish. But apparently still survives in a nominal form.
