'Out Of Gas'
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."
Giles left because Buffy needed to be left without her watcher in order to continue growing up as a slayer.
Right, or because Giles felt she needed to have no Watcher anymore. In a Watsonian analysis, there's no such thing as the Hero's Journey, or TV Tropes (::spits ritually::).
I found a really nifty website:
Medievalists.net, where there are oodles of links to articles about lots of things in journals etc. Much fun!
Lost Conan Doyle novel to be published:
The Narrative of John Smith was written when Conan Doyle was 23, and just a few years before the author published his first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet. It tells the story of a 50-year-old "opinionated Everyman" confined to his room by gout, laying out his thoughts and views on subjects from religion to war and literature through the conversations he has with his visitors, from a retired army major to a curate.
Oh my god, it's a story about my husband.
OK, Deadline officially rocks.
I'm really not thrilled with all the violence Shaun does and threatens to do to people. I'm not hating the book or anything, but I think I'd like it better if I actually liked Shaun.
What is Deadline?
The second book in the Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant. The first book was Feed. I loved the first book, and I'm enjoying the second book (I'm only about a third of the way through). I just have a few issues with it. It's definitely worth checking out!

I like that he's very self-aware, though. He understands where his violence comes from and isn't proud of it. He's not as likable as George, though, I agree.
OK, Deadline officially rocks.
Heh, where are you?
Thanks, Rayne! It was too hard to google.
