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.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

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."

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.

Shit. Good shit, but shit nonetheless.
Let's try and post this only once.

I read the first two Outlander books while living in a small house in a rural Greek village with a team of German geophysicists. My German was sort of crappy. It was the perfect situation for 2 800-page novels. (I've never read the rest, maybe because of the subsequent lack of German geophysicists in my life.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I got through the first three? four? of the books and gave up. I just couldn't do the long slog.

I am just trusting that she doesn't get too depressing, but I'm spoilt enough to know the story goes long enough for them to have a child, so I'm far from that traumatic event, should it come. And I guess she doesn't leave for a while or if at all.
They're at the Abbey right now, and Jamie has just told her he can't stay married to her. I hope this wraps up sooner rather than later.
She must have done *crazy* research for this. I appreciate much of it, but Claire's a bit perfect and then stupid (although the stupid is lessening) for my tastes. Who randomly knows all that herb medicines? Not my nurses, that's for sure. At least she knows nothing about birthing no babies. But some about foals.
I've also, for the first time, been giving my Nook dictionary a good workout. Carnassian was the first time I caved--I guess it would be weird to call them canines on a wolf.
