I admit that I don't like the butter bugs much. And A Civil Campaign hits my embarrassment squick pretty badly; it's far from my favorite.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

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"
Really? I enjoyed it a lot. It left me smiling.

I think I'm most fond of the politicking that goes on in the Vor books. You so rarely get good adventure that pays attention to the maneuvering behind the derring do.

The thing about a Civil Campaign was that Miles screwed up in such a Miles way, and then - um spoiler fonting the rest
was forgiven the way we forgive people who screw up when we love them enough and know that the screw up was made partially out of love.

They do have a broad appeal: they're very character-based, but there is also smart sciencey world-building, tricky politics, and exciting battle sequences. And moral dilemmas.
ALL of those things appeal to my Dad. If it wasn't for the fact that he's trying to cut down the time he spends online, I'd tell him to come here for book discussion.
I want a book of Sunshine's recipes. I was practically drooling over the descriptions.
Oh, I know. (Aaaaand I just realized that book would be torture to reread now while I'm on a gluten-free diet.)

Well, I'm now on a sugar-free, carb-free diet ... or lifestyle as the case may be. I've had to start cooking again.

do y'all that have Kindles have cases? Because some people on Amazon say after cases theirs didn't work so well, but three percent of people on Amazon never like ANYTHING, so...

I prefer keeping my Kindle in a case. I carry it around in a pocket of my purse where I also stash pens, pencils, other stuff and want to have something between the screen and all my other junk.
My Kindle 3 had a case that hooked into the Kindle and I never had a problem with it, tho' I have read that other people had issues. My Kindle Fire has a case that is held on to the Kindle by elastic bands. I've only had it for a couple of weeks so I don't yet know how well it will last.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I got a custom quilted thing on Etsy. Love it.

I currently have the amazon-made case that is boring and black and hooks into the kindle. I like that it hooks in but the elastic strap has completely stretched out (in a year) and is kinda useless now. So I ordered a new one (with a pretty cover) and will see...it was supposed to get here yesterday but I think is delayed with the snow!
