Remember: it also included the Titanic.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's frustrating because I felt like he was almost on to something, but not quite there.
I felt this too, though I may have liked it a little more than you did. For some reason, the thing that made it more frustrating is that one of my very favorite non-fiction books ever A Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea is also a "split story", but a much more successful one, IMO.
(In case you missed it, that was a pimpage for A Ship of gold in the deep blue sea, which I think everyone everywhere should read.)

Lee! I didn't know anyone else ever read Ship of Gold. That's a great read, especially if, like me, you know a bit about the law around archaeology and salvage. Cool stuff.

Consuela! I should have guessed you would have read it.
I think I need to reread it soon.

On a similar subject, if you have an Atlantic Montly subscription (and if anyone does, let me know...) this is a marvelous article about a the sinking of the ferry Estonia in the early 90s. [link]

Always Anti-fascist!
So much true crime is written by people who...kinda don't write very well. I suppose that's why "A Year On The Killing Streets" was such a revelation.

I was gonna say, it's not that good of an article.
Thank you! I read it when it came out and kept meaning to try to track it down.

The Good Soldier, Ford Madox Ford.
Based on your enthusiasm for The Remains of the Day, I genuinely think you'd like it. So I'm not just recommending it because I adore it, but that is a factor.
