He's in the second season of Slings and Arrows, which led to a lot me going "Gilbert, NO!"
WUT.
I watched S&A! I did not see Gilbert Blythe!

OMG he's the guy who made the musical, isn't he? OMG.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Apropos of nothing, I'm seeing news stories about local libraries that are refusing to carry Fifty Shades of Gray.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I was travelling for work conference last weekend and my roommate, a self-confessed non-reader, mentioned that one of her dear friends (who apparently reads everything) entreated her to please, PLEASE give Fifty Shades of Grey a try. And asked my opinions on the topic. I had to bite my tongue hard not to repeat my friend B's mistake and blurt out "but there is so much better porn out there!" I guess I can't really say that without having read the damn thing.
On a different topic: has this article by Lev Grossman on Time been linked here before? [link] It's a very sensible rebuttal to that New Yorker article that stated how genre fiction is inherently inferior to litfic.

Because books.
Wow, I haven't seen most of those. Some drawings were included in the book Letters Home, which was letters to her mother, but only a handful. She was really good.

I'm kind of psyched. On Monday the 25, I get to babble about Elmore Leonard on Daily Kos for a whole page(The only thing better would be to get paid, but, alas, the checks from Soros remain mythical.) But now that I've gotten the Favorite Author slot, (And, yes, have already done several fawning "David Simon likes urban carrots" Treme diaries,) I thought I'd ask people here what y'all would say so it doesn't deteriorate into some Chris Farley "Remember 'Fire in The Hole?' That was AWESOME." fangirl deal. Although Fire in the Hole really is made of win and makes me cry out my unworthiness every time I reread it. I know I'm not the only fan here.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm enjoying the Hell out of World War Z, but I could really live without the homophone typos. I've encountered 2 in the past 10 minutes (sight for site and routed for rooted). It bothers me.

What would happen if Louisa May Alcott had read 50 Shades of Grey and wrote her own erotic diary? [link]
Gag.

what if Jane Austen became a Sopranos fan? (While we're asking nutsy questions...)
