I agree with Toddson, the Helen Pendergast "trilogy" made me want to beat my head against a wall. Same with the preceding Diogenes "trilogy". (Trilogy in quotes, 'cause each storyline got THREE ENTIRE BOOKS, but I'm not sure they were billed as a trilogy.)
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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'm pretty sure I got through the Diogenes Trilogy before I wandered off last time. I don't think I started Helen's. Maybe I better just get out while the gettin's good.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I don't care for the Preston&Child books, but I liked Preston's Cities of Gold - A Journey Across the American Soutwest [link] very much.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So good.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
It's very McSweeney'sesque.
