I personally like the part where they take your pre-adolescent son and sell him in the streets.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Dear People Who Pimped Bellwether To Me:
I started it last night, and I'm really enjoying it! Though I want to kill Flip.

Imagine me reading Flip out loud in my best disaffected teenager voice. She'll annoy you even more! (mr. flea could barely stand it.)

Oh, wow, that is awesome. I was loving her already and was interested in her book, and then Dave Eggers compared her to Lorrie Moore, and now I need to remember to go see her on May 16 when she comes to San Francisco.

Just finished Bellwether. Sheep. Hee!
If I were to read To Say Nothing of the Dog, should I read Three Men in a Boat first? (I actually read it in college in a Brit. Lit. class, but I cannot remember one damned thing about it, other than feeling sorry for Jerome K. Jerome because of his name.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I didn't, and didn't feel the lack. Though I do want to read Three Men in a Boat, now.

Barbies! Bobbed hair! Duct tape!
When I first read To Say Nothing of the Dog, it had been years since I read Three Men in a Boat. I remembered enough to catch the jokes. I don't think it's necessary, though.

I'm with -t...have never read it, kind of want to now...still enjoyed "To Say Nothing..." without that.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I read To Say Nothing of the Dog without having read Three Men in a Boat and loved it. I might have missed a few jokes, but I still thought it was hilarious. (There was also at least one joke that I remember that I wouldn't have understood without reading some Buffista discussions about, hm, I think it was Georgette Heyer? Anyway, I felt Very Cultured about getting that one.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
-t is me. And so is meara, apparenlty. Except probably not as drunkl, at least if we go by speeling.
