My bad. It's been more than 20 years since I read Lords of Discipline, so I disremembered it.
Still, in his novels other than Lords of Discipline, I stand by my criticism of the repeating themes.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

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."

If you ever have a chance to hear Pat Conroy speak, take it. He's very funny.

Because books.
Diana Gabaldon was the opening speaker for the RWA conference last week, and I missed it! She was apparently hilarious.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yeah, won't argue about his other novels.
I just looked up Conroy on Wikipedia. South of Broad is his first novel since Beach Music. Huh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ah, I'm into the third chapter of OOTP, and, oh boy, this sure is the one where Harry is ANGRY ALL THE TIME. Twenty-two discs to go!

Yeah, he wrote a memoir and, I think, a cookbook in between them.

I was an idiot and read it stadning in the children's section at B&N - I don't even HAVE little kids, but it gutted me. I made my 19 y.o. daughter read it.
