I liked that book too.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

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."

Because books.
One of the things I liked about it was that it did show that she was both of her time, and forward-thinking. I remember reading one letter where she's talking about how much she wants to break into the women's magazines, and I was shocked. But she's poet! She can't do silly, commercial stuff! She really wanted to do everything.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I need some readerly advice. If one wanted to know more about Death, Terry Pratchet's Discworld, after having only seen a couple of the lovely tv shows - "Color of Magic" and "Hogfather", etc - without having read any of the Discworld books yet, which book might be most profitable as starting points?
ETA: I ask this, having read the Wikipedia entry on it, so having some clue which books Death is in as more than just a cameo. But if does not necessarily really tell me which is the best starting point for a complete n00b.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mort is the one I'd recommend, I think. Unless you just want to start with Colour of Magic and plow through them all, of course.

Ah, thank you. Bookmarked the link, too.

Five pages into Mort and I can say YES.
Also I love instant downloads. I resisted e-readers but I love not having to wait for a new book to come in the mail.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, definitely Mort, and also Hogfather.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hogfather is probably my favorite, but Reaper Man is so lovely and quietly heartbroken/breaking.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh yeah, Reaper Man too. I just love all the Death books.
And all the Witches books.
And all the Vimes books.
Um.
