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."
She satisfies my feminism in ways that none of his other women do (even the ones in Monstrous Regiment, which annoyed me for reasons I cannot recall at the moment).
You probably blogged about it!
I happen to have an irrational, deep love of Monstrous Regiment, so I'm sure there's stuff that sucked about it, but I can't *see* it for the stars in my eyes.
Laga, you're just reading Julie and Julia, right? Do you know what's gone on in Julie Powell's life since then?

I just ran a search on my Gmail for "regiment". Apparently I found it preachy and predictable. I'll probably read it again at some point, though.

Other than taking up butchery I have no idea.

It reminded me of my favorite fairy tales, the ones where the girls dressed as boys and did all the rescuing of the kingdom.
I am a TOTAL sucker for that.
Maybe you do or don't want to know, but the butchery was somehow connected to her crazy affair that she had, but now she's back together with the husband from J&J. I think -- I couldn't pay too much attention, but I'm pretty sure that's the gist.
Yeah, I hadn't heard that. I'm just reading the part where she talks about missing the series finale and I thought oh crap, what if she reads literary buffistas?
I still think reading the recipe before you go shopping is kind of important.

Understandable. But IIRC, I thought that, beyond that trope, the characterizations weren't very complicated. But you know, I should reread it instead of keep talking about it. It'll have to wait, though: I'm 1/3 of the way into Hat Full of Sky right now, and I'm sorely tempted to do some filing so I can put on my headphones and listen to more...
They weren't especially, though at a typical level for his lighter-toned work, which this falls into. (Which is why Feet of Clay and Night Watch remain my favorites in Discworld proper.)
Feet of Clay was my least favorite of the Watch books, huh! And I was hoping to love Night Watch more than I actually did, I think.
