I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And Sparrow Hill Road , because Seanan, plus it sounds really good.

It is really good!

And also one called Serpentine , because I thought it sounded interesting in Mysterious Galaxy's last newsletter, and the author happened to be standing there, so I bought it and had her sign it for me

Oh yay!! Serpentine is good, and Cindy is lovely. That's the first book in a duology, in case you didn't know.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Finished Updraft on the flight back from New Orleans yesterday. So wonderful! I loved it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So much to like about that post!

Stephanie Meyer has published a new Twilight book

It's not Midnight Sun or another side story. It's a retelling of the first book....genderswapped.

We have been afflicted with the romance of clumsy human boy Beau and ridiculously attractive vampire girl Edythe.

.....

Yeah, I got nothing.

There's not a known, safe method of inducing aphasia, is there?

I dunno, Twilight itself seems to render people incoherent most of the time.

Or did you mean "amnesia"?

Amnesia would only protect the individual reader. Aphasia, induced in the right person, could protect millions. (And it'd be a two-birds-with-one-stone deal, as preventing Meyer from writing would also prevent James!)
