Interesting.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Her Crosswicks journals are beautifully written, and The Summer of the Great Grandmother is a thoughtful look at aging and dealing with an independent relative who is becoming dependent. Her novel A Severed Wasp also deals with aging.
Another possibility would be M.F.K. Fisher's collection Sister Age. >[link]

I like journals, so I would recommend May Sarton "At Seventy" or After the Stroke.

One I would NOT recommend--"My Stroke of Insight". Neuroscientist who had a stroke. Terrible writing.

wrod. Interesting story, but she couldn't tell it. Sometimes I wonder why certain books get so beloved.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For as much effect as Leonard had on crime fiction and westerns and movies, his effect on science fiction is also notable. Wm. Gibson didn't really know how to plot out a full novel, so he just copied the structure of an Elmore Leonard book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Thanks for giving us Jackie Brown, Mr. Leonard.
