Considering who her parents are, I figure they're just glad she's not dating an evil disembodied brain.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
These books make me sad. They always make me think I should be doing more with my life than I am.

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.

That's the way I feel about the first paragraph of Moby Dick.
If you finish it on the way to Dublin, flea, you should also read some of Ray Bradbury on living in Dublin to write the script for the movie.
