HAIL!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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."

Article here about The Handmaid's Tale by Atwood herself. Not much substance, mostly a description of how it was written and received.....
...except she does the Margaret Atwood thing again: My book isn't X because all X is such-and-such, and that's not what my book is.
It's "feminist dystopia" instead of "science fiction", but the song remains the same.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am going to have to read Discount Armegeddon, if only for the mice. (I'm trying to stick to library books or Kindle books these days, for budgety reasons)

Hey. New board.
I'd Kindle-lend it to you, smonster, but it doesn't seem to be available for that. (I so hate how few books that feature is available for...)

So, P-C, you're a sexy gingerbread man.
I loved the mice and am looking forward to observances of Don't Make Me Come Up There and Shit, I Dropped the Cake. I liked the world building, but I didn't quite buy Verity. The ability to fight in five-inch heels and an awkwardly integrated dance career do not a character make. Also, does the Covenant of St. George have a remote monastery somewhere where Dominic was raised? He talks like he's never seen television.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I, myself, am hoping for a chance to celebrate Daddy, I Swear I'm Going To Kiss The Next Man Who Comes Through The Door.
Or, since that's not likely to occur, as Seanan celebrated the upcoming books, CHEESE AND CAKE!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So, P-C, you're a sexy gingerbread man.
Run, run, as fast as you can!

It did seem like he was very, very sheltered. So maybe...yes.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Or his parents/guardians didn't want him getting any ideas ....

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Squee! Got my interview answers back from Seanan/Mira last night! It's really fun; I will be pubbing it next week!
BTW, P-C, I love her and want to hang out with her and talk and talk...
