Slaughterhouse Five seared itself into my brain. Whenever people talk about the Allies only being noble and true, I think about the Dresden firestorm .

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I remember a Rolling Stone piece on him years ago where he came out of the screening of the movie version of Slaughterhouse Five and Susan Sontag told him she liked it. Then she asked what he thought, and he said, "Margaret Mitchell and I are the only two writers that can't bitch about their movie adaptations."
It's a good movie too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
It's a good movie too.
It *really* is. Except I always wanted to see the Tralfamadorians.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our friend Keith directed Mother Night, which is not a bad film at all. Nick Nolte is very good in it. Keith got to meet with Vonnegut to discuss the script and Ii htink it is one of the high points of his life. He reported that he was a wonderful man.

Mother Night is quite the underrated movie. The premise of the book is wonderful, too.

He's done some interesting literary adaptions. A MIDNIGHT CLEAR really stuck with me.

He's a very good director and the nicest person ever, as is his wife, Rachel.

Mostly lurking...
Anyone own Bambara's Gorilla, My Love and a scanner? I need a couple of short stories from that book by Wednesday, and the library can't get it to me by then (stupid Monday is a holiday in MA).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
