Wash ,'The Message'
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."
Do y'all think if a person took a lot of iron supplements, it would make their blood toxic to sidhe?
Not before it was toxic to them. Too much iron in your blood is bad news and most people's bodies will not let it build up.
Tries to remember where I keep my To Be Read List to make sure The Historian is on it...
That's what I was thinking. You could probably make iron water, by soaking nails and such, perhaps?
Hmmm.
The mythology around iron varies wildly, so you have considerable room for making shit up.
Hmm, how creepy? Violent, scary creepy or just really disturbing? Basically can I read it?
Well, I wouldn't recommend reading it when you are about to discover a bat in your basement, but I'd say it's more creepy than really disturbing.
It goes off the rails in the last part, but up until then I really enjoyed it.

Bwahahahahaha! Oh, nice.
(Of course, if I discovered a bat in our basement, I would be busy trying to catch it to keep as a pet, much to Pete's dismay.)
Oo, I need to read The Historian. How come I haven't heard of it before? I clearly need to spend more time in this thread so I can get more leisure reading suggestions.
Bought a book for Franny on Friday after the librarian at Isaac's school said it's making its way through the 4th and 5th grades, both boys and girls: Rapunzel's Revenge. Franny's almost half way through it already.
I really enjoyed the Historian.
Dream last night. Vetinari was dying of old age, and had to laid a plot to make sure the best person for the job succeeded him as Patrician - Vimes. That Vimes and the heads of all guilds and the entire aristocracy would hate it was just a bonus to give him something to gloat over as he passed away.
Waking up: it makes a scary amount of sense. There is nobody else remotely like Ventinari, so his successor needs to have strong qualifications that don't remotely resemble those of the current Patrician. Vimes would be miserable in the job, and do it well.
Vimes would be miserable in the job, and do it well.
Problem is, based on Night Watch, Vimes is about the same age as Vetinari, so it's not much good for long-term planning.
I think Holli had the best idea I've seen yet: Vetinari is grooming Moist von Lipwig as his successor.
Yeah, Holli's characterizations made me go, oh yeah, of course.
