Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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."
“Today’s biggest enemy of lasting influence is the sector of both personal and corporate musing that concerns itself with the art of creating impressions without consulting the science of need ascertainment.”
Deer loward, that's the ourobouros of business speak.
Kat! I got the book, thank you! And thanks, t, too! It's great timing, because I have the Persuasion reread, and then the SO is gone all next week (boo, but for recording, so I guess it's a good cause) so I can be all Hunger Games trilogy all week.

I almost won't to throw that out (up?) at a meeting and see if anyone blinks. Almost.

Oh, man, do I want a Garth Williams Little-House-series original! If I ever win the lottery, that's on the top of my list.

Cool. I knew somebody would snap it up and I hoped it would be a series instead of a movie. I was reading the sequel in the bookstore and it's very engaging.
Has anyone finished the sequel? I'm afraid to start it. I had some problems with the latter half of the first book and I want to know how the narrative structure of the 2nd is.
Has anyone finished the sequel?
I haven't finished it. I do know that the reviews I've read indicate that this book is much more accomplished and assured structurally than the first one.
