I think either one would be appropriate, Jilli! Although I think I did most of my Kindle talking in Tech.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

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."

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

Thanks P-C! I'll scoot over to Tech.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I started getting getting choked up when I was reading Augustus and Hazel's perfect dinner in Amsterdam.
It made me remember the first time I read a book that really gutted me and that was when I was reading The World According to Garp and I got to the part where Garp says, "I mith him."

Wait till you get to the end.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, I need some hivemind help. Elie Wiesel (I think!) has a quote about writing poetry that I want to reference. It's something about how poetry comes from suffering and then people tell the poet, oh, suffer again, so we can hear the exquisite sounds of your groans.
Something like that. But much better. Can anyone find it for me? My google-fu is failing.

I love that it looks like a mashup of Community and Hogwarts.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Has anyone read "Fated" (an Alex Versus novel)? I'm in the middle of it right now and I think it is scratching a particular itch for me. I'm enjoying it, though I'm a bit lost in the world-building.

Sounds like an interesting premise, and I really enjoyed his Superpowers.
