Any thoughts?
Misfortune by Wesley Stace. Sort of light, but well written and decidedly goth and sexually ambiguous.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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."

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.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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

Well they blew up the water main , everything they knew about Kiki was a lie and Kiki is gone. And they sold the reverse pided pieper thing. I had actually expected something like this to happen, but it came just as I ws getting off the BART trainand somehow I have avoiding picking it up again. I am actually fairly certin I will finish it tonight (if my cold doesn't put me to sleep) but I just find that I am very anxiious for the girls. Reading would resolve things, but something else might happen.
