And, lo, Sue and I also share Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
I really don't have that many books, and certainly not fiction. I keep giving those away or Bookcrossing them.

Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have some of the same books you do, ita, I just haven't put them in. I've been trying to think which books will go into my free account, because I'm not paying money just to put all my several hundred books in.

Sue and I share at least one more book, because I see Lost In The Grooves right there on your library page, but it's not one on our shared list, although mine is listed, too.

She was the star of her own soap opera, unwlling to enter the documentary called Life.
I think that ought to be used in actual bit of pulp fiction.

Me: The jelly is more, well, jellied, and the jam is jamish. I just don't like it.
For most things, I prefer jam. But grape is kind of the ur-jelly - grape jam seems strange and off-putting.
Relatedly, I was trying to explain to someone what tamarind tastes like, and it occurs to me that fruit is seriously hard to describe without resorting to that sort of thing. More than most things, I think.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I was trying to describe what pomegranates taste like, and I ran into a similar problem. I ended up with "kind of cranberry-ish."
(My typing has gone all to hell.)

I've created my Library Thing list, and it's only maybe 20% done, and all from what I remember off the top of my head. I know a lot of those classic titles are the wrong editions--I think I'll have to pull off all my books one shelf at a time and search for the specific edition by ISBN.
