Sparky suggested I visit over here to ask if anyone's read Vellum or Ink ? Still new to the multithread.

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."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Finished Barrayar today.
Damn, that was good. Tense, though -- I was holding my breath for, like, the last 1/4 of the book. Good stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I finished a book too! Way too exciting, considering it's not exciting. I just read so rarely these days.
Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner. I have to admit, the shenanigans in Swordspoint sometimes went over my head, when they weren't primarily emotional. This one talks down to me more, and I can't say I don't appreciate it.
I think she did a good job of a clueless learning-her-way story without me feeling impatient or scornful. Katherine didn't know some things, and she was going to learn them, but I didn't dislike her or the author for it.
Didn't love the book, but I sure did enjoy it.

Oh, YEAH. I forgot you had mentioned that!
Damn, I love Cordelia.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
She paid too much.
I do adore Cordelia. She's just awesome. Aral is too, of course.

Always Anti-fascist!
No way...I believe I did come close to writing Lethem/ Pelecanos once. Not sure if George would dig that...but it is *me*...as I recall they spent much more time fondling records than each other.(As well as being quite jealous of the time I spent with the other one.) But you just can't punk the leading crime writer in America...I'm sure you feel me on that. But I think they are both very cute.

Dude, I own a Flannery O'Connor t-shirt. She's my favorite writer. What do you want to talk about?
