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."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Don't do it in all caps, at least. It'd be like speaking for the reaper.

...

Actually, yes all caps.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

RIP Sir Terry. Buggrit.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I didn't use all-caps, but I did PM Neil on Twitter.

He wrote back and said he'd try.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

All caps is totally appropriate. Imagine Sir Terry meeting his best character...

NOW THEN, ABOUT MY CHARACTERIZATION.

Brava, Jilli.

I was sad to realize I have no Discworld on my iPod, must fix that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Fucking hell. We knew it was coming, but.

We did. It didn't make it much easier to read. But maybe a little. Except, no. I hate to think of him suffering but I hate the world without him.

RIP. :(

I've always been vaguely convinced it would be Gneil's Death who picked up Pterry, and vicey-versey.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I've always been vaguely convinced it would be Gneil's Death who picked up Pterry, and vicey-versey.

Mental image perfection. I imagine Gaiman will have THINGS TO SAY to Death; whereas after the monstrous cruelty of such a brain as Pratchett's being subjected to Alzheimer's disease, a friendlier face might be just the thing. She will, I think, have some idea how much he will be missed by her progenitor and the rest of the world.

A number of Terry Pratchett's books are on sale in Kindle format at Amazon. They're $3.99 per which, while not a super discount, is less than half the print price. See: [link]

And of course it's the ones I already have in print.
