Dang, Sox, that's just...wow. One should be able to write a list of books one recommends without a frigging legal disclaimer attached to it. @@
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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."

I want all the Girl Genius books in print. There are 13 of them, and they are appropriately priced. I have a credit card, a new one with hot rod flames on it. It's whispering "Use me . . . use me . . ."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In regard to gaming the awards system, I understand that someone has set up a publishing house in Finland which has fewer than ten authors, specifically to publish the "sad puppy" nominees. By being published authors, they then become eligible for membership in the SFWA and, thus, to vote for the Nebula awards.
Just sayin' ...

He took forty* Hugo nominations. He took 40 Hugo nominations. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
*Actually 57.

Because books.
I want to understand about Sad Puppy, but I'm a little worried it might give me rage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It will definitely give you rage.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Can anyone link to a good summary of the Sad Puppy thing? I've only read people commenting about it, but not giving a lot of details.
