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.)
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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."

RIP Leonard, indeed. The man had an amazing hand with dialog.

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.

He'd love that, and kind of hate it.

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.
