Possible Jane Austen portrait.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I just read her Talking About Detective Fiction, which is mostly about Golden Age authors, but talks about her view of the necessary elements of a mystery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is a totally fascinating effort--a teenager's investigation into published authors and symbolism.

Because books.
I love Ray Bradbury's response. And I love seeing who scrawled across the page, who typed on the page, and who typed a whole new letter.
