You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Buffy ,'The Killer In 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."

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I wonder how much an omnibus version of his ebooks would cost? Someone should make that happen.

There's an ebook omnibus of the Tiffany Aching novels for $29.99. I'll probably end up buying it at some point.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I finished War and Peace last night, after I took a break to re-read Pyramids, Small Gods, & The Last Hero.

I've re-read Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, and I started Maskerade last night. I need to re-read the witches books before I loan them to the StuntHusband on Tuesday.

I think it's time for a re-read of Jingo. Vimes at his best. Fifth Elephant should be around here somewhere, too. Lady Sibyl stopping a fight with the power of opera.

There's a part in War and Peace that reads not unlike Sam watching the opera at the end of Fifth Elephant. It quite distracted me.

I just did a re-read of the witches, Aching, and guards series(es) over the holidays, so I'm going back through the other ones. I am quite fond of Cohen.

Because books.

How do you pronounce Aching, in this context?

Would they be a good place to start reading Pratchett?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I've always pronounced it like the thing your back is doing if you sleep funny. But I have no authoritative source for that.

I would assume that there are a lot of kids who start Discworld with them.
