Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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."
Teppy! Kingdom of the Wicked is on its way to me!
I ordered mine, but I haven't gotten a shipment notice. Where did you order it from? t edit I ordered from Amazon UK, and I just checked my order status, and it says it will ship on August 31, with expected delivery between September 7 and 12. Booooo.
Amazon.co.uk - I got an e-mail saying it had been dispatched with an estimated arrival date of Sept 17. So, a bit of wait still.
Soooo, mine hasn't been shipped but will get here sooner, and your HAS shipped but will get here later (all theoretically)?
England makes no sense to me.
It's all timey-wimey.
Ack! New Skullduggery?!?
Eeeeee! I got the e-mail saying it's shipped, and should be here Wednesday the 5th! This is me: [link]
I finished Something Wicked This Way Comes! I thought it was great, and I really need to read more Bradbury. Jilli, talk to me about how much you love Charles Halloway, because I'll bet you do.
Charles Halloway is almost as cool as my dad. In fact, Charles Halloway is eerily similar to my dad, which is one of the HUGE reasons I love that book.
I may want to run away with the Coodger and Dark Pandemonium Shadow Show (and believe me, there are a lot of days I want precisely that), but I will always want to be able to talk to my dad.
Which would be some of the thinking behind my seriously considering asking my dad if he'll record himself reading Something Wicked This Way Comes and "Homecoming".
In fact, Charles Halloway is eerily similar to my dad, which is one of the HUGE reasons I love that book.
I suspected as much.
I'm not sure if it's that my dad is becoming more like Charles Halloway as the years go by or if I'm just noticing more similarities. But I know my dad would be delighted to spend the rest of his life in a library after hours.
In Stephen King's Danse Macabre, he has a section about Something Wicked This Way Comes. In it there's a quote from Ray Bradbury about how after the death of his father, he re-read the book and realized it was a huge love letter to his father. I always, always think of that.
