Sylvia Plath's sketches - nice work.

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."

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
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...)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tim is not a frequent book-reader. He faithfully reads his Make magazine when it arrives, and on occasion has read 1/3 of an ADD book.
A couple of years ago, on the drive home from the beach, we listened to the audiobook of the first Skulduggery Pleasant book, which he liked. But it didn't make him actually read the books that follow in the series.
This year, we listened to the second Skulduggery Pleasant book driving down to the beach, and listened to the third on the way home. Since the third ends on a bit of a cliffhanger ("What the fuck is the DEAL with portals???" Tim asked. "It's like Angel!"), when we got home, after less than a day had passed, he said, "I think I need to read the next book. Is that okay?"
He's halfway through it (Scapegrace just got zombiefied). WIN!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's very cool!
Those books are so addictive and fast-paced.

I just want him to get to book 5 so I can flail at him about Remnant!Tanith, which I am still NOT OVER.
The 7th book is released in the UK August 30, BTW. Only 2 1/2 months!
