Yes.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

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."

Shut.up.
I won't tag at home. Too slow with the dialup (though the isbn scanning is remarkably fast! ) so I do that at work when... I should be working. So far, tagging has started with "what I've not read" which is actually a boon. Makes me want to read those books! But looking at the titles, it is interesting to find tendencies I wouldn't have noticed before. I know about the foreign affairs, mid east/central europe/USSR-Russia stuff. The heavy latina lit thing is a revelation. I knew I identified with that, found a home in it, but... I really love that stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The member library still contains 5402 books. I am unduly irritated by that.

It doesn't update nearly enough, which is verra annoying.
After digging out all my old college texts and adding them to the library, I have the urge to read stuff I haven't even thought of in years, like Twain's Connecticut Yankee... and the Shakespeare plays. Oo, and the Spoon River Anthology is totally going next to my bed for quick bedtime reading.

Because books.
I think I'm still under 80 books entered, but so many of mine are packed away they're going to have to wait. I did ask for the lifetime membership and a cuecat for my birthday, though.
And I got the LT Author button, which is kind of cool.

Look here. It's been at 5402 books since the first time I hit that page. I've added about 100 books since then, and y'all even more. The zeitgeist page is partially updated--the member list is current, but the most recently added books doesn't even match the HTML feed. Which is a bit slow itself.
I get cranky about that stuff--not least of all because I can't find the help pages and the FAQ doesn't apply. I'm too scared to dig into the forums for it.

Oh, it's the dog books. Other people don't have Dogs of Ireland, Pointer and Setters or the The Essence of Setters.
