So very cool, Scola!

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."

R.I.P. Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
R.I.P. Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I should read more Marquez. I loved 100 Years of Solitude so much, but then I was meh on Love in the Time of Cholera and stopped looking for stuff of his to read.

Not surprised about GGM, but still sad.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am definitely sad about this one.

Hugo Award nominations! It's a verrrrrry interesting ballot this year for several reasons. Lots of first-timers. Fan Writer category has no straight white men. The entire Wheel of Time series is up for Best Novel. A blog post nominated for Best Related Work. The "Time" xkcd nominated for Best Graphic Story.
Aaaaand then there's Larry Correia and Vox Day, but. Still. Change is in the air.
