Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

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

Michael Chabon's new novel Telegraph Avenue is getting good reviews.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My Kindle has page numbers - is this only on some models? That's crazy!

hip deep in pie

I think one to two things I've read on my Kindle had page numbers, the rest were percentages

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

I think it depends on the generation. I have a first-gen, and it doesn't have page numbers, just "locations", which is usually something like 52395--i.e. impossible to remember.

My Nook has page numbers.

Hey. New board.

Page numbers came in pretty recently- Kindle 3 maybe? The modern generation should have them for most Amazon-purchased books, but not all. Library books are more iffy, and fan fiction etc obviously don't have them - no print editions to match up to.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm not sure if someone at FEMA is a Mira Grant fan or what, but their latest emergency preparedness guide seems to point that way.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I finished the latest Skulduggery Pleasant this weekend, and I'm just waiting for people to discuss it with me.

Because there's a Thing I need to discuss. Holy crap.
