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.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

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

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.

I grabbed a bunch off Gutenberg, but I didn't keep them. The early stuff is very pulp, and I find I don't have a taste for the tropes, not even from a Grand Master.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anyone got any recs for good steampunk for my BFF, who has apparently just discovered it?

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Zen, I quite enjoyed Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan" trilogy. It's an AU take on WWI, with one side deploying what are essentially giant robots, and the other side using biologically engineered zeppelins and the like. Much, much fun. It also (in the last book anyhow) involves Nikola Tesla, who is something of a favorite in steampunkish RPF.

Thanks, Anne! That sounds like a good place to start.
