Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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."
A conversation I had with my dad about audiobooks:
"I've discovered that audiobooks are good for commuting."
"Audiobook? What's that?"
"You can listen to the books being read on CD."
"Someone reads the book to you?"
"Yeah."
"That's new.* How much can you fit on one CD?"
"Oh, they're multiple CDs."
"I guess that's good. If you want to...learn something.**"
*Uh, no, they've been around for decades. When they were on tape.
**Reading for fun is SUCH A FOREIGN CONCEPT TO HIM.
How much can you fit on one CD?
A lot, if you write really, really, REALLY tiny.
Teppy, I may spend too much time on other sites, I honestly looked for a Like button on your post.
My new clothbound Dracula was waiting for me when I got home from book salon. I think this is my favorite C B-S title yet.
Oscar Wilde via Jersey Shore (x-posted in reality tv):
love! Now I want Oscar Wilde goggles for all reality TV. I wish he'd got to see Drag Race.
Still in the middle of Infinite Jest, I've started on a pornographic writing project. I am coming up with some really weird sentences. I kinda like it.
Oh, those were brilliant.
I don't know a thing about Jersey Shore but that was fantastic.

Oooh, pretty.
I nearly bought the (new-ish) leatherbound edition of Dracula that's at B&N, but decided to go for a vampire anthology I hadn't read before. But! I did finally break down and purchase this one from Amazon: [link]
I need recs for paranormal-ish books for middlegrade readers. I read a LOT of YA, but I also need to read stuff that is aimed at the slightly younger readers. Help?
