Interstellar Pig was great, and I really dug Others See Us and Singularity and, I think, Strange Attractors. I'm pretty sure that's where I first learned about tachyons.

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."

I like it, but there's what I presume is a spoiler on the back cover that I wish I hadn't seen. I'm a little over halfway into it.

Frickin' back covers! I try to avoid reading them if I know I'm going to read the book.
I'm still annoyed that the jacket blurb for The Lovely Bones spoiled THE CLIMAX OF THE BOOK.

House of Stairs was great. It definitely had a big impact on me as a kid, especially in the area of "the authorities may not have your best interests at heart".

not your mom's socks.
Has anyone toyed with The Mongoliad? They're up to 30-some chapters (if I read the TOC right) - that's a lot of catching up.

I remember hearing about it before it started, but nothing since. Is it any good?

Consuela, I braked at the TOC. I'm still considering the commitment.

That reminded me that I'm behind on the Demon's Lexicon series. I think I only read the first one, actually.

I feel bad for the Department of Mysteries. The DA totally destroyed, like, hundreds of prophecies! What if they were important?!
