I do, Erin, and I am wanting to successfully pull off this Lending maneuver! I believe you are one of my "NOOK Friends TM" already, so that should help.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

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 forget if anyone here likes Joe Lansdale, but if so I recommend this short story by Joshua Ellis: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Mark Reads is now covering The Hobbit.
His reaction to Riddles in the Dark is very entertaining.
He hasn't read a lot of high fantasy so it's also fun seeing him flummoxed by a lot of things that most of us would take for granted (like Tolkien's narratorial style where he will allude to the fact that he's telling a story).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Does anyone have a favorite book for random trivia? My little sister loves posting things like "Did you know the average person spends about 2 weeks waiting at traffic lights?" and "Did you know that if you pet a cat 70 million times, you'd develop enough static electricity to light a 60 watt light bulb for one whole minute?" I found this book and this one and also this one since she loves food.

Hey. New board.
Schott's Original Miscellany is pretty fascinating to the trivia-interested.

le nubian, that sounds right up her alley! Thanks! I can't wait to see "Number of 'telephone-related' injuries in 1985: 11,000" pop up on Facebook.
