I know! I dragged a little finishing the last 100 pages or so 'cause I knew it would be THE END for at least a year.

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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sad, Consuela. I really love her books--truly smart and big-hearted comfort reading.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Hrm, so I'm seeing these ads for a new TV show called _Revolution_ on NBC (amidst Olympics coverage) and it looks/sounds remarkably like a treatement of SM Stirling's Emberverse books but with different characters and a locale that is entirely written off in the books....am I imaginging this? The wiki page for the show has a link to the Emberverse series but doesn't note how they are related.

Well, if it is related, I do hope they avoid the really distasteful ethnicity fetishism, which is what made me put down Dies the Fire and decide not to read any more.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I picked up a cheap paperback copy of This Is Not A Game when I realized I didn't have the brain power to dive into another David Mitchell book right now, and the opening few chapters involve an online community banding together resources to extract one of their members from a war zone.
It reminded me of us.
