This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

My dream cast for Good Omens has been Fry and Laurie since I read it.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Fry & Laurie? yeah, much better than my suggestion of Caine.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

My dream cast for Good Omens has been Fry and Laurie since I read it.

Fry - Crowley and Laurie - Aziraphale? I could just about see it working either way...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I believe Stephen Fry will be - or, possibly, has in the past - be in "Shakespeare in Klingon". They had a picture of him in the paper announcing it - he was in full costume, brow ridges and all.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the question I have for you all: is this a good book?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

the question I have for you all: is this a good book?

Good Omens? Hell yeah! One of my all time favorites.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

hmm. okay, let me start reading a sample chapter.

I could not finish American Gods, so that's why I asked.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Today is Read Across America Day, and Matilda's school encourages students to come dressed as their favorite literary characters.

Matilda is going as Alice Through the Looking Glass. So JZ made her the dress from scratch.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I could not finish American Gods, so that's why I asked.

Tone of the book is more Terry Pratchett than Neil Gaiman.
