Gravity's Rainbow sure took a beating, though.
All of it deserved.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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."

Not sure whether this belongs here or in Fanfiction or Natter:

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
Every time I get an email that is not from Pottermore I get sad.

Re: Heyer - my absolute favorite of all is Venetia. The ones listed above are excellent as well.

Because books.
I have still never read any Heyer. As a former romance editor (who acquired traditional Regencies! no sex!), I should be ashamed.
This is when I wish I had an e-reader already, too.

You don't have to have an e-reader to read Kindle books - there's a free app for computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Same with Nook! Don't forget the Nook!

This page I made for Kindle users at work has direct links to the apps, Lendle for e-book sharing, and free e-book sites (Project Gutenburg, etc.) You could read free ebooks for 10 years and not run out of them. [link]
