I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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."

Wow. Learn something new every day.

Of course now I'm working on a theory that writers from a more repressive time had to work harder than writers who can get anything and everything published.

I need recs for airplane reading. I've got an 11 hour flight tomorrow and I am hopeless at browsing e-book sites. Any thoughts?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Any thoughts?

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.

"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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'm about halfway through Kiki Strike.

I agree with Steph that it is a very Buffista book, At the moment I am concerned enough about what is happeneing that I needed to pause.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

At the moment I am concerned enough about what is happeneing that I needed to pause.

What's happening right now? (I couldn't pause -- I read through it in almost one sitting, because I needed to know what happens.)
