Oh Consuela, that sounds like everything Atonement wanted to be!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.
