I'm not sure I want to open that can of worms. She's got an awful lot of published work to keep me busy. I'll keep that in mind, though, thanks! And I probably read her in the first p,lace off you recommendation way back when, so thanks for that, too
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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."

Our wings are not tired.
Toni Morrison has died.
Truly an inspiration to so many. She made a difference in countless lives.

Because books.
I had no idea she was 88. She seemed so vital and so *young* always.
In other news, I just read my first Laura Lippman, Sunburn, and it was fantastic. Will be disappearing down that hole for a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Laura Lippman is generally fantastic, and the reviews of her latest are rapturous.
RIP, Toni Morrison.

I haven't read Sunburn , but I'm a big Lippman fan in general.

Sunburn is so great -- it's a noir at the beach, basically.
