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 said, I recall not liking House Like a Lotus much; it's the one where
Yeah. It's a very oddly written scene, too.
There are a lot of strange things about this book. Polly, who's 16, is dating a guy in his mid-twenties, and her parents have no comment at all about that. They seem happy that she's being social at all.
Considering who her parents are, I figure they're just glad she's not dating an evil disembodied brain.
These books make me sad. They always make me think I should be doing more with my life than I am.

Heh. Good point.
Sox, get Hundred Dresses. I love that book. Also Junie B. Jones is awesome.
I'm rereading "A House Like a Lotus."
I love that one. I had to buy a new copy last year because the old one fell apart from excessive use.
On the list (the good list, not The List), Kat!
Oh, this is awesome: Ta-Nehisi Coates discovers Moby Dick.
Melville eats Klingons like part of a complete breakfast!!
Melville! Melville! Melville!!!!
Do not come to me with your drab and sorry works which I have not read. Melville desecrates their temples, steals their horses, and howls among the lamentation!
Hee! I am still not done with Moby Dick (maybe on the trip to Ireland!) but I love it. It's so FUNNY. Nobody ever told me Moby Dick was funny.
Kind of relatedly, what Irish Literature available for free (i.e. pre-1923) should I download for the Kindle for Ireland? I have read: Castle Rackrent (meh), some Synge (ugh), a lot of Yeats (yum!), Portrait of the Artist and Dubliners (yum!), and Gulliver's Travels (fine). Do not ask me to read Ulysses; this is a pleasure trip.
