Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ooh, thanks for the tip, bennett! I already have the non-anniversary edition, so two bucks isn't bad for the re-buy.

I didn't know you could ahem e-books - a sign of how out of it I am these days. From the usual suspects or e-book only places?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ok, you all did so well with the "death and grieving" suggestions, any ideas for a non-fiction "book about a person with a disability"?

Anne Rice has a werewolf book coming out next month.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The juxtaposition of the two posts above mine made me laugh and laugh.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
"Moving Violations" by John Hockenberry is good. Exciting, since he went places most paraplegics can't. John Callahan's "Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot"

Me, too. I honestly thought for a minute that sumi's post was a direct response.
Relatedly, I am going to have to buy American Gods for the BatKindle, because my paperback went walkabout many, many months ago.

I was mostly getting them from friends (and for the most part things that I already had, or that I wouldn't otherwise buy--which is why I was ALSO spending too much at Amazon, and because it was soooo easy!). But I am pretty sure you can get them the usual places...but I have also never ahemed a TV show or movie, and haven't downloaded music illegally since Napster was big (iTunes is easy enough and legal enough and cheap enough that I don't feel any need) so I don't know the exact processes!

I try not to ahem anything from living authors. For somewhat-aheming of old stuff, the Australian version of Gutenberg has different public domain rules than the American version, but they are naturally geared towards the Australian audience.
