the comments for that piece have me laughing out loud.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm curious about this. The collected juvenilia of the Brontes.

Because books.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Hee! I thought you'd be happy about that. I really enjoyed Cold Kiss, by the way, and obviously our reviewer did too!

It was such a good surprise this morning. I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
That was a good review. Congratulations, Amy!
I was in the bookstore the other day and noticed that the paperback of Bujold's Cryoburn was out; do you suppose there's a chance that there's going to be a new book of hers on the shelves soon? (I hope!)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'll be in B&N later today or tomorrow--I'll face out Cold Kiss if it's not, and to chatter about it with any handy staff. What? I can do artless soft-sell! If I'm really on the ball I'll remember to take a picture of it on the shelf.
