Strangled by...the stuffy conventions of Regency society?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
So help me I'm kind of excited to see what JKR is announcing tonight.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Ah, okay. Not quite what I was expecting, but close enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys -- I finished Room last night, and I can't stop thinking about it! Then I found the website, which is worth seeing if you've read the book: [link]

It's on my TBR pile (metaphorically.) I like Donoghoe a lot, and I'm interested in seeing how she writes a story set in modern times.

I haven't read any of her other stuff, so can't say how it compares.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I read Room last week and loved it. It really stuck with me - I found myself thinking about it a lot since reading it.

Punishingly Intricate
I loved Room. And love her other stuff but it's been a while since I've read her other things so I'm not sure how they compare.
