Dana, you've been commed. I literally laughed out loud at that.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Because books.
So true, Dana! And I don't get it either, sj.

I read the first Murderbot a while back. I liked the character, but I thought the plot was kind of dull, but everyone here seems to like them so much maybe I'll give the next one a try.

Help, I need manga recommendations for my 15 year old niece, and I don’t read it. Apparently that’s all she’ll read right now.

I remember really disliking the writing style in The Hot Zone.
Same here. I found it really florid and overwrought. I hadn't heard about The Ninth House before, but upon googling, I'm definitely interested.

I just read it last night, and agree with this. It was fine but not quite Johannes Cabal or the tea-and-cake of T. Kingfisher.

Thanks, Hec. I'll check with her mom and see if she has any of those already.
Volans, I haven't read Johannes Cabal or T Kingfisher, but they're on my list.
