Excellent news regarding Terry Pratchett. Excellent on a number of fronts, especially the post script.
Now excuse me, I must go squeeflail all over the place...
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

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."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Free audiobook today from Amazon:
Colin Firth's unabridged reading of Graham Greene's The End of the Affair. Depressing as all hell, but it must sound utterly gorgeous.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
My super-cheap refurbished Kindle ($48! Whatta steal) just arrived last Friday and I already bought like 6 books. I buy from Amazon as a rule anyway and it's just so easy to click on that one-click button. Presto, instant gratification! I am gonna have to work on exercising some restraint, I see. Why have't I gotten it ages ago???

The way to exercise restraint is to load Calibre on your laptop and fill the Kindle up with free books from Project Gutenberg. (And fic from AO3!)

And if you're willing to go into grey areas, Gutenberg Australia has books from a later date range than American Gutenberg. ManyBooks has, well, many books as well.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I heard about Calibre and AO3 and fic. Is there a step-by-step how-to guide>? Because I am too lazy to try to work it out myself.
I bought the third Song of Ice and Fire books just this morning because I have the paperback but that sucker is THICK and I've been stuck in the middle of that book for ages. Having it so easily accessible may be the way to finally get me to finish it...
