Oh Consuela, that sounds like everything Atonement wanted to be!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."
If you like historical non-fiction, or spies, or WWII or have a relative who eats that stuff up with a spoon I browsed through Double Cross by Ben McIntyre at the bookstore and it looks fascinating.
I have known that Germany had been fooled about the landing at Normandy but I hadn't known the story behind it. It was the result of a major (three year) espionage effort by Britain involving an extremely eccentric group of double agents.

You know, I still haven't read Atonement (I know, I know), so I don't know. But it was very good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is such a weird question, but does anyone have any Lawrence Block Matt Scudder books from the 80s they want to lend or sell me?

Oh hey, I should pick up Feed! It's the first one, right?
(Man, I am so behind on reading new things. I need to read all of Seanan's stuff. But I keep getting sucked back into the Vampire Chronicles, because I want comfort reading bombast.)

Yep! Right now the first book is cheaper than the two novellas, which is amusing to me.
I need to read all of Seanan's stuff.
Yes! I think you would enjoy all the Faerie politics in the Toby Daye series.

That's the one with the mice, right? Everyone has told me I will love the mice.
