This may or may not be the place for it, but there seems to be a kickstarter for The Children's Illustrated Clausewitz. Although I think many children are born knowing the essentials.
And we live to fight another day.

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."

So, I didn't really mean to read The Heir Affair in 24 hours but here we are. It's fun! Partly for the nostalgia, if that's the right word, for a world in which Royal Family sex scandals would be big news. I went into it thinking it'd be a rom-com but it's more of a soap opera

Our wings are not tired.
Fun is good!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I was thinking I had read this but when I went to Goodreads to look it up, it wasn't at all familiar. Then I realized I'm thinking of The Eyre Affair, which is not the same thing at all. So weird that I managed to fall victim to a homonym, even though the words are written!

Oh, funny! Do you hear what you are reading in your head? I do, so I can see me mixing those two up - I think it might be even more likely now that you've pointed it out...

Apparently I do - I never really thought of it before!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Alexis Hall's Boyfriend Material dropped Tuesday night. I'm halfway through. VERY romantic and funny (like most of Hall's work)but surprisingly chaste. He's definitely widening his demographic with this one.
The audio narrator is a doll. MUCH Welsh accent! OOOOOF.

Ooh, good to know!
I've started listening to Emma and I think I may need to rewatch Clueless.
