Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Buffy ,'Sleeper'


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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wouldn't call it spoilery - there aren't any plot points revealed that weren't basically things we already knew from Storm of Swords.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's spoilery for the TV show. It was originally linked to in Premium Cable.

Ah, gotcha. I unsubbed from Premium a while ago since I don't have any premium channels.

not your mom's socks.

Is Jilli around? Any comments/favorites of Steven Brusts' work? Those who aren't Jili please weigh in too - I'm in the dark.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'd read some of his books a good while ago - I don't have any clear memories of them. I know I liked them well enough to read more than one, but I stopped reading at some point. (Helpful, aren't I?)

I adore Brust. His work breaks down into Jhereg and non-Jhereg, mainly. I like 'em both. Of the non-Jhereg I'd recommend To Reign In Hell. I've read almost everything he's written, so if you want more details, just ask.
