There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I've been plowing through the Hunger Games books, and, with about a third of Mockingjay left, I am posting. I've been reading Mark Reads along with the books (well, less so Catching Fire, which I was compelled to read in one most-of-the-night sitting, but I read afterward).
So, at this point:
- I want to recommend these books to everyone ever. We can haz consequences.
- I was picturing Finnick as at least in his 30s, if not pushing 40 (yes, I had previously done the math on Haymitch. I have no explanation for this delusion.), and then I checked the wiki, and he's, like, 26. He's younger than me. This is a fucked up world, yo.
- I kinda don't want either side to win.
- So, there's just a little bit of a food theme, eh? (I totally assumed Panem derived from "everything", rather than "bread", though.)
I expect to finish and then read the old posts here tonight. Maybe tomorrow, at the latest. I'm planning to go Occupy something tomorrow.

And it now lurks on my Nook, waiting to be read.

The status is NOT quo.
I am such a Skulduggery junkie now. After reading books 1-3 on my Kindle and then discovering the rest aren’t out yet, I ended up finding a deal on Books 1-5 in paperback and buying them.
By the way, this was in part inspired by Seanan McGuire’s beautiful post about why paper books are so crucially important to avoid widening the gap even more between rich and poor: [link]
If you haven’t read it, I strongly recommend it. (It may have originally been linked to here, in which case I apologize for the redundancy. It’s really worth it, though,)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks for that link, Pix. If it was linked here before, I hadn't read it.

I hadn't read it, and I was nodding my head.
I know P-C know SM/MG, and if I'm ever in Cali, I want an intro, because she is so fucking cool.

Not, unfortunately, Borders/Kobo.
Guess I'll have to investigate converting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aren't the Nook and Kindle apps free downloads for most platforms? Therefore Amazon and B&N free books are free for just about anyone?

The Amazon files are in the Kindle format, which is limited to use on Kindles. B&N downloads an epub file that can be put on most anything.
