Amazon emails me the Kindle deal of the day.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
"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"

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.
