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.
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
And think how much fun it would be to have Joe and Aims Read - stereophonic snarking!

Is there a specific reason she's ending it?

I think it's that she had a specific story arc planned. I remember her saying that she never planned to turn it into a lengthy series.
