I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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."

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

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

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

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

Well - Feast of Crows for the Tyrion fleeing Westeros stuff.

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.

I read that at ComicCon, Mysterious Galaxies is going to be selling the new Dresden Files book early.

Why am I remembering Butcher was being a douche recently, but not the details?

I don't know. I haven't heard anything - but then my news was from his newsletter and they are unlikely to report his douchiness.

Are you looking for a recommendation? It depends on what you're in the mood for. Brust's To Reign in Hell is great if you like epic tales and huge casts and political intrigue and, well, Milton. The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars is great if you want... the polar opposite of all those things, really.

(If you're looking at the series, I can't help.)
