This is what I'm saying! It was jarring.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It would have been Mr. and Mrs. John Smith until into the '80s and later in some sections unless "John and Jane Smith" was specifically requested. Today, it's John and Jane Smith, and the second reference is Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith, unless Jane Smith requests to be Ms. Smith.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Or, with the way things have gone, it might well be "John Smith and Jane Jones-Smith" with their adorable toddler, "Joshua Jones-Smith".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
So Amazon had a Kindle deal for the Parasol Protectorate, and I got the first three books for $10. Finished Soulless last night.
Hey, that's still going! This would be my first Kindle purchase.

and the second reference is Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith, unless Jane Smith requests to be Ms. Smith.
Seriously? That's just seems wrong.

The Times may have moved as far as Ms. Smith unless she requests to be Mrs.

So Orson Scott Card rewrote Hamlet so that Hamlet's father was a gay pedophile and abused Hamlet, Laertes, Horatio, Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern, and that's why everyone is fucked up.
And then Scott Lynch (author of The Gentlemen Bastards) mocked him by similarly rewriting Henry V. Sort of: [link]

Always Anti-fascist!
When I was a teen, I would have included Heathcliff/Catherine but now I think that's fucked up.
