'Selfless'
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."
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.

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. :)
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.
The Highest Tide - this looks like an interesting/enjoyable book and it's the Kindle Deal of the Day.
Bought, sumi. Thanks for the link.

Looks neat. I just grabbed the sample. Man, I love browsing a book before I buy.
Okay, I am intrigued. Buying.
This video is mesmerizing. I can imagine my books getting up to this while I sleep.
Has anyone heard about this where a novel that started out as Twilight fanfic has had the serial numbers filed off and is going for publication.
Which begs the question, as author Jenn Bennett asked: Can fiction first written as fan fiction—no matter how far from the original source it diverges—ever be ethical?
Seriously? You think The Wide Sargasso sea is unethical? Did you mention that to someone earlier?

This happens ALL THE TIME. Amazon is full of lesbian romances that started as Xena/Gabrielle fic.
Heck, the Temeraire series basically started as an Aubrey/Maturin AU (although Dana would know better than me).
And there's nothing at all unethical about it. Pfeh.
