What books have you been giving her??
The usual kind!
Juicy and skinful.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In the paper earlier this week one of the columnists cited Effie in "The Hunger Games" ... and advised parents who didn't get it to ask their teen.

Dear tor.com and tor forums. Why must you have different passwords and user accounts? This is either medieval or vaudevillian. I can't decide.

Our wings are not tired.
Or as Javachik said while I was talking to her the other day "So, for you reading 'The Help' is practically literary?" It's true.
I did? Wow. Hope it didn't sound as condescending then as it looks in print. Sorry!

Hahah! No no, not at all--true, and I got what you meant. It was probably also better in context. :)

Hey. New board.
That's true for me, too. Though I did read Dubliners in the spring and am 37% of the way through Anna Karenina (I do about 5% at a time, every few books. I like it a lot but oh, it's so long.) so this year is going better than most in terms of works of literary literature.

Art Crawl!!!
The Highest Tide - this looks like an interesting/enjoyable book and it's the Kindle Deal of the Day.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Looks neat. I just grabbed the sample. Man, I love browsing a book before I buy.
Okay, I am intrigued. Buying.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
This video is mesmerizing. I can imagine my books getting up to this while I sleep.
