Liese, I love all the Discworld books except the Rincewind ones. And even then, The Last Continent is pretty damn funny.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Rincewind either, except when he ran into Cohen the Barbarian.

I like the Rincewind books. The Luggage! Twoflowers!
Death is in pretty much every book, right? Sometimes not for long, but he shows up...

Heck, I even like the Moist Von Lipwig books.

Because those are great!
I may be an uncritical reader of Discworld books. It's possible.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like the Rincewind books, but I'm not a big fan of The Last Continent.
I haven't read Moist yet! But I hear good things.

Guilty. I know there are problematic issues with them (hello, Twoflower racism!) but I really love the Discworld. They are basically my perpetual comfort reread, a spot previously held by HHGttG. But with so many more books, I am farther from being able to quote the entire "trilogy" in order.

I prefer the post office to the bank.

Los Angelenos, you have let me down!
Nobody mentioned the awesomeness of The Last Bookstore!
It's an old Crocker Bank that's been wallowing in disuse for decades. Now it has a labyrinth of books upstairs for a dollar each! Great layout, and supporting super cool local art studios and the staff were playing a great Sparks album while I was there. Such a cool bookstore and space!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My apartment building has a place in the laundry room where people can drop off stuff they don't want but don't want to just throw away. I scored a whole stack of Terry Pratchett books; remembering some posts from Friday, I noticed them because the one on top was "Mort".
