Google suggests it is this book, actually about a monkey.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
(cross-posted to Fan Fiction) Is there anyone out there who would be willing to beta-read a Code Name Verity fic I'm finishing up for Yuletide. Right now, I mostly need someone to help check character voices and to make sure I didn't muff any major bits of canon.

Scholastic actually does a really good job of matching up age with reading level (so if you've got a 1st grader reading at a 4th grade level, you can find more difficult books with stories of interest to a 6 year-old, or vice versa).

Thank you, meara! I did get someone to volunteer over in the FF thread, so I'm covered.
Good to know that about Scholastic, Jessica.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am reading Outlander on my Nook, and it's gripping. But I can't work out what I've bought. Is the first book 800+ pages? This might be the end of me.
That and the way she writes pain, the swiving sadist.

Yes, each of the books is ridiculously long.
