I'm about halfway through SWtWC. I'll be reading a bit more tonight.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Maybe I'll go back to Night Circus. I was reading it before the move, and then I misplaced it and found it when I was looking for something else recently.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm reading Libba Bray's new novel, The Diviners. It's creepy and apt for this time of year.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finished Duma Key today! The exciting last third totally made up for the often-boring first two-thirds.

Back when I was teaching high school English in Malaysia, I had the students each select a poem to do a bunch of work with, including read aloud. A Japanese boy with a very strong Japanese accent chose "The Bells."
And now I can't unhear his version.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Every so often, when it seems that everyone's sent their bill at once, I think I hear "the tintinnabulation of the bills". sigh ....

Didn't you love Elizabeth, P-C? And Wireman...I'd like to sit down and have some margaritas with him.

Elizabeth was great! And I really liked Wireman a lot. His constant use of Spanish was simultaneously annoying and endearing (especially given his reason for knowing it). I was so sad that he had to fucking die so soon after everything settled down. I know Perse didn't have anything to do with it (OR DID SHE), but it sucks.

ITA on your whitefont. But King'll do that; have you read "Bag of Bones?" If not, I really recommend!

I have not! I haven't read a lot of modern King. Or old-school King. There is a lot of King, after all.
