And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, if you've started Wee Free, I'd keep going with Tiffany Aching, which stands alone pretty well, and then you can decide what else you want to do.

If you want to appreciate the full glory that is Granny Weatherwax--and Aunty Nogg--you'll want the witches stories, too.

My personal devotion in the Diskworld is to Ankh Morpork and the Guards. I do adore me some Sam Vimes, especially when he's playing off of Lord Vetinari.

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.

I adore them all, but my favorites are the Death books. And the ones featuring Susan.

And the ones featuring Susan.

SUSAN! She and Tiffany are my two favorite characters.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I do know that people sell and arrange books by color; buy books by the pound to fill bookshelves and drill holes through books to make lamps. I still find it painful. Today I made little cries of pain when I saw that not only is this person selling books by color, she's selling Gone-Away Lake and The Phantom Tollbooth by color. [link]

That's the binding my school library had Gone-Away Lake in! One of my most favorite books ever.

The Philosophers Club. Baby-Belle Tuckertown and the summer cats. Mrs. Brace-Gideon. The Gulper. Julian saying that Foster's two interests were outer space and inner pie.

(Excuse me. I just had a Gone-Away Lake-gasm.)

And the names! Sophronisba!

I'm afraid to re-read for fear it won't be as wonderful. Must check the kids' section of the used bookstore.
