I've been doing a Hugos read, and just read Light Brigade. Anyone else read it? I enjoyed it, though the ending wasn't as satisfying as I would have liked. Would still recommend.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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 loved The Stars Are Legion but I haven't been able to get into any of Hurley's other work. It's too dense and something for my brain.

I respect Hurley but I find her worlds too brutal for me.

Her collection of nonfiction collection The Geek Feminist Revolution is excellent.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Alexis Hall's The Affair of the Mysterious Letter
Cashmere, thank you SO MUCH for mentioning this book. It was utterly fabulous. It was like Fallen London had come to Sherlock Holmes.
I was picturing either Skyler Cooper or Brian Michael Smith as Wyndham, and Shohreh Aghdashloo was really my only choice as Shaharazad, even though she might be a bit out of the age range.

I borrowed the e-copy from the SF library, so it should be available online. Hopefully.
