Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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 have Sleepy Bedtime tendencies, which can be bad if I'm reading my Nook or Palm, because I fall asleep and drop them on my nose.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I am so lazy I want to figure out a way to make my nook flip the pages automatically at certain intervals. Then I could have it propped outside the covers and keep my arms underneath.

I believe this is why the "snuggie" and "slanket" were invented...

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"
Amazon has a bunch (all?) of Andre Norton's Kindle editions for free/cheap. Some are sets of collected works, some are individual titles.

A bunch of those are already in the public domain, so there's no reason to pay for the bundled ones. I only found four of the free ones which aren't also on Project Gutenberg.
