I respect Hurley but I find her worlds too brutal for me.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been

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."

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.

You couldn't have told me this before the libraries closed!?

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

New Penric novella
Oh, yes, that! I read it last week, and, well, it may be a bit too on the nose given the current state of affairs? OTOH, it is nice to see medicine and epidemiology managed sensibly by well-meaning professionals. (Apparently the subject matter of this story is a complete coincidence...)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I love the Penric stories ... the first one, where he's pleading for the demon's continued existence (can't say life) made me sniffly.
