Discussion Threads

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But she's coming to Borderlands all the way from South Africa!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm on an Amelia Peabody reading binge myself, for which I blame thank Jilli.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I liked Zoo City but I thought it ended too abruptly.

I'm reading The Leper of St. Giles, though I may pop over and read some of The Woman in White as well. Yay, my nook.

not your mom's socks.

Well, today, I'm going to read Lauren Beukes.

I liked Zoo City a lot PC.

And I need to fill in some holes in my Connie Willis collection.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I only read excerpts of Zoo City, I should finish it.

Especially when he's not pointing out how spicy his brain is.

Which is when he's totally asleep?

My work is going to sponsor a Sigma event next year, and ask the participating authors for SF stories built around issues the US government needs to be thinking about or start thinking about.

We put the request to Sigma, and whichever members want to participate do so, but we can also request other hard SF authors for the project. I'm on the panel to pick these authors, and right now my suggestions are:

  • Paolo Bacigalupi
  • William Gibson
  • Charles Stross

Any others?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Any others?

Bruce Sterling. He's been one of the most prescient and interesting writers about corporate cultures and tech going forward.

Iain Banks?

Sterling always participates. So yeah.

Sox suggested Banks as well...guess I should read some of his stuff?
