I do not even remember what the Low-Key Reveal might refer to. I'll take that as my cue to re-read.
Riley: No pulse. Anya: Yup. The space lamb got 'im.
'Never Leave Me'
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."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hey. New board.
Can I assume we are discounting Good Omens since it is with TP? Because it was my gateway and is still my favorite.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Maverick rec: One of the Sandman graphic novels. Either Season of Mists or Game of You. Game of You, probably - weirdness factor at 11.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I have gotten fooled by Low Key at least twice as well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's also the short stories. I think some of those might be available for free?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It didn't take me until the official reveal, but I too felt like an idiot when I made the connection and realized it had been in plain sight the whole time.

Sandman. Start with Sandman.
Well, okay, that's my purist reaction. The Graveyard Book may be a good place to start.
P-C, Amy -- have you read The Ocean at the End of the Lane? Because it's quick and accessible as hell. I almost feel like telling her to start with that.
Hey, will one of you who has read The Ocean at the End of the Lane give me a general rating for the emotional gut-punchiness of it? I love Neil's writing, but I've seen some comments that the book can be emotionally wrenching around the ideas of the helplessness of childhood, and that's kind of a loaded topic for me nowadays.
(Yes, I have the book and I haven't read it yet. Crazy, I know.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hm. Jilli, I didn't really get that from the book at all, but that doesn't seem like something that would ping me.
