So true.
I like the idea that a lot of our cognition is turning things (events, sensory inputs, whatever) into stories. That that's kind of what being human is all about.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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."

Because books.
My mom had so many of those. I remember reading the titles on her bookshelf. Touch Not the Cat sounded fascinating to me.

I was afraid to re-read them, because I loved them as a kid, but they're still good, and I catch more of of the subplots now. I also highly recommend Jane Aiken Hodge. I like this genre of romantic thriller where the woman does a lot of self-rescuing but has a nice strong man around to do whatever hitting is necessary. (I never claimed to be above such things)

Is Jane Aiken Hodge related to Joan Aiken?

I don't think so, I've wondered that before.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
