I haven't read it yet, but I sent a copy to my nephew for his birthday.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm currently reading Mary Robinette Kowal's "Ghost Talkers" ... and I bring it up here because early on she introduces a character called Brigadier-General Lethbridge-Stewart.

And it seems that Gene Wolfe has died ... sigh ....

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

There are literal tears streaming down my cheeks from suppressing a laughing fit over the scene with Nedry!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
That was comedy GOLD.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I enjoyed these.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I used to use Sir Terry's original of that very first line in the philosophy link as a tagline here, to wit...
Make a man a fire and it'll keep him warm all night, but light a man afire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Our wings are not tired.
So, I joined a Monthly Book Club group on FB, maybe to be more random about what I choose to read. I miss the F2F book clubs I have participated in previously. None of the June books were on my To Read list, so looking forward to seeing what happens.
The picks for June: Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney, Bed and Breakfast and Murder by Patti Larsen, Genesis Girl by Jennifer Bardsley, and The Ghost Writer by Alessandra Torre
First I need to finish The Bear and the Nightingale, which I just started.
