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.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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".

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When the vampire/werewolf paranormal romance thing has run its course, this is really the only logical next step:
The Gods of the Night are incarnated for the first time in 65 million years, summoned to protect humanity from an all-encompassing evil that is coming in 2012, at the end of the Mayan calendar. While currently incarnated as deadly, handsome men, they have the ability to assume their prior forms—those of gigantic dinosaurs.

Because books.
Aw, Leisure Books. Truly the pinnacle of romance publishing.
