Well, I now have a copy of Chimes at Midnight; have to finish up one of the books I'm reading now, but it's at the top of my TBR pile.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Because books.
I ... but ... what? No.
Oh, come on! Don't impalers deserve love, too?

Well, a lot of romances involve a certain amount of impaling ... but not quite the way Vlad was known for.

No. They need the blood of their enemies. It's bad enough there are stacks of Oh, Dracula isn't a monstrous predator, he's a brokenhearted woobie and his Tru Wuv Mina can save him! books out there.

Coffeeandink has a great how-to guide on using Calibre to manage books from a variety of sources, dealing with DRM, and porting them over to an e-reader. [link]

Casper is rereading Farmer Boy and asking for Little House on the Prairie. I just read something lauding Betsy-Tacy as a non-racist alternative to LHOP. I've never read them - is there much pioneer-ness in Betsy-Tacy? I have a recollection we have fans - who wants to pimp them to me?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I loved Betsy-Tacy when I was a kid! But I don't remember much pioneering in them. They reminded me more of Anne of Green Gables, I think? Don't quote me though, it's been decades so my memories are beyond fuzzy.

Isn't it worth it to let her read the books and then discuss the issues of racism?
