Wow. I didn't know Edith had it in her. Um, so to speak.

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."

Um, yeah. I believe I used the word porn?
The way my prof explained was that it was never for pub, just getting into the minds of her characters. And it is a very moving story, everything very understated and full of implication.

Misfortune by Wesley Stace. Sort of light, but well written and decidedly goth and sexually ambiguous.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My professor never told me Edith Wharton wrote porn.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Whoa. It's pretty hot as porn goes, I have to admit, but "Mr. Palmato" is her bleedin' FATHER, isn't he? Colour me wigged.

I want to know where brenda's professor found that. Talk about a decent research topic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Somebody on my flist shared this, and I think there are people here who would appreciate it.
Scans from St. Nicholas, a 19th century British children's magazine
Just a beautiful set of vintage engravings and drawings.
