I finished Please Ignore Vera Dietz (which everyone should read right now), and will be going back to Eleanor and Park later tonight. I needed some fluffy Project Runway in between.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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."

Because books.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hmm.... why? Is In Cold Blood somehow less gay? I'm confused by that comment.
It just seems, of the Capote I've read, to be a more "manly" book, somehow. Like, I really couldn't see this guy teaching Breakfast at Tiffany's.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It also seems to be the most canonical -- for most people, if you've read one thing by Capote, it's probably In Cold Blood.

I finished the new Skulduggery Pleasant book this morning.
That fucking book.
That's all I can say right now.

I hear you.

Yup. I am not sure what I think? Except next book now, please.

Okay, I need to say this: Ghastly nononononononononononononono. I am not even remotely okay with that. I can't remember the last book that made me cry, but that did. (Twice, actually: I also cried when it seemed like China was going to die, and she and Skulduggery were talking, but then when she was okay and turned out to be the new Grand Mage -- because OF COURSE she is -- I laughed and pumped my fist in victory.
Also, I'm pretty sure my reaction to (hopefully semi-permanent) Darquesse is "wrong," because instead of being all "Nooooo!", I'm just "Huh. Let's see what happens, shall we?"
Also, Finbar Wrong is awesome.
And Scapegrace will never ever not be funny.

I 100% agree with all those points.
In general, way more happened than I expected or was prepared for, somehow.
