RIP man.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

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."

I'm actually sitting here crying about Ray Bradbury. He was supposed to live forever.

RIP, indeed. May you sail through the late night skies on beautiful green wings, Mr Bradbury.

Me, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
He was supposed to live forever.
That's why he wrote those stories.
Now he can unfurl his leathery wings like Uncle Einar and go soaring out over the hot summery days.

Speaking of Bradbury. I'm trying to locate this essay: “How Instead of Being Educated in College, I Was Graduated From Libraries.” Which was in Wilson Library Journal.

Wilson only has that journal (it's Wilson Library Bulletin) online from '84, Kat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The IO9 article on his death is getting some really good comments. He sounds like he's had a lovely impact on a ton of people--not just through his writing, but also directly, in person.
I have to go look up that quote about people dying three deaths.

Hah! 10 out of 10!
That was either too easy or I "read too much", as some people say.
