Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm not hating the book or anything, but I think I'd like it better if I actually liked Shaun.

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.

Because books.

One Book, One Tumblr.

Okay, gotta say, having just hit the bit in Deathly Hallows where we see Neville again (which I had utterly forgotten from my first read--I read the entire book in one five-hour sprint and recall very little), I must share this t-shirt. It's pretty awesome.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Love!

Selling books the old-fashioned way.

not your mom's socks.

Mary Robinette Kowal made an interesting card game to go with Shades of Milk and Honey (which I haven't read yet - has anyone here?). [link]

Also, now that I seem to have my eyes back, I can start on Feed and then Deadline. I've been so jealous of folks reading them, when I know they're waiting on my iPad for me. Also the 1/3 of Embassytown that I didn't finish before I had to give up the shiny screens.

ETA: links are helpful

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, Neville. You so rule.

I know that the narrative wants me to love Harry, Ron, and Hermione best. But I think my personal favorite characters are Luna, Neville, and Tonks. They're just so splendid. Weird and flawed and awesome.

Ooh, how is it? It sounds intriguing.
