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've started The Night Circus and I'm already into it. Even though it's the damn title of the book, I still had a WTF reaction to the fact that it's, well, a night circus. IT'S ONLY OPEN AT NIGHT.
This opening stuff with Prospero is giving me a Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell vibe.
Jim Dale is great because Alexander sounds like Dumbledore and Prospero sounds kind of like Hagrid.
I like that I have no fucking idea what this book is actually about.
Check it: Just for the Weekend - a romance where the couple meets at a Star Trek convention.
I haven't read it - but I'm going to.
That's awesome!
So very cool, Scola!
Very cool.

I only ever read Love in the Time of Cholera, but I loved it and have been meaning to read One Hundred Years of Solitude forever.

Oh, how sad. I never read Love in the Time of Cholera even though I own a copy. I did enjoy One Hundred Years of Solitude, and I highly recommend Chronicle of a Death Foretold as well as the short story A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings.
I love everything Marquez. Even his very long biography. Went back to the original 100 Years and then some of the short stories and translated what I could, though my Spanish is terrible. I just wanted to hear how it sounded in the original because I loved it so in English. A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, and some of his short stories about saints, and The General in His Labryinth... augh. I am so glad he wrote, and so sad right now.
