though it was sufficiently meandering that I never made it all the way through.
It does warn you up front: "a novel without a plot."
Nice acronym, Mom!

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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok. Watching Joe read "The Hunger Games" series is HIGHLARIOUS. Like Mark Reads but in 3D.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
With on-the-spot snarking.

For those interested, the most recent episode of The Readers podcast (which is awesome in general) is on Victorian Lit. The beginning of the interview with Essie Fox, author of The Somnambulist, has some echoing issues but they get resolved eventually.

So ... last night Joe and are in bed reading (he's on Catching Fire ), and Joe is chewing his nicotine gum. Now, Joe's TMJ makes his chewing very loud. Suddenly, a hush fell over the room - he had stopped chewing. And then there was a loud, "What? WHAT? That is BULLshit!"
And it was then that I knew it had gotten real.

Me, too! Joe would be way snarkier and more entertaining than Mark.

And think how much fun it would be to have Joe and Aims Read - stereophonic snarking!
