What Erin said, dammit.
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.

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."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Convert it using Calibre.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Calibre confuses me. I have it, but I can't figure it out.

Oh, since I invoked the eBay spirits here: I won the auction for the signed 1st edition of The Vampire Lestat! I would stamp my Goth Card, but I don't think there's any more room.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Eeeeeee! People! Go read it and come back so I can geeble about it with you!

Erin, I am happy to either walk you through converting it or doing it for you.

Oh my god, I can't wait until you read it. Because of The Thing. And The Other Thing (which I still don't know how I feel about it, whether it was an asspull that didn't work, an asspull that worked because of its sheer ballsyness, or a brilliant move).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I have a copy of it on my iPad right now! I probably won't be able to start it right away (I have another couple of books in-progress right now), but still...
Also, Teppy, have you read "Goliath" yet?
