I read the Fionovar Tapestry ages ago and loved it, but never got into the rest of his work for some reason.
Angel: How're you feeling? Faith: Like I did mushrooms and got eaten by a bear.

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 then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I remember crying over parts of The Summer Tree.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yeah, good stuff.
It was The Lions of Al-Rassan that made me cry.

Oh man, the battle at the end of Lions.. between Rodrigo Belmonte and Ammar ibn Khairan made me so upset I didn't want to read to see the conclusion.
Such a sad and beautiful story.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I love so much GG Kay. I remember absolutely, full-bore sobbing at pretty much the entire last 1/8th of the last book.
Loved Lions, Tigana, the Sarantium duology, Song for Arbonne, and his first Asian-inspired book. The others, though...I just didn't like the newer ones. That others are so emotionally rich and I just didn't feel much for the characters in the latest ones.

I'm halfway through Code Name Verity and I, uh.... I have a fair feeling I am going to be emotionally devastated by this book.

Because books.
You're not wrong, zuisa. But it's completely worth it.
