I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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"

I read her horror novel, The Twisted Ones ... which totally creeped me out. It was definitely a "do not read at night" book for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, yes, I have to be careful with those

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Molly Millions

I think she had a substantial role in Mona Lisa Overdrive but it has been so long since I read that, I don't remember the details.

She does. (I can nerd out about Gibson anytime (even though he kept calling Highway 101 "The 101" in his latest, Agency)).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oooh! I was tempted to by Pattern Recognition when I saw it used the other day. Should I get it?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yes.

Pattern Recognition is so good! The only reason not to get it if you actually already have a copy you forgot about…

not your mom's socks.

Yes but if you wind up with a Buzz Rickson jacket, don't blame us...

augh ... turns out there are serious problems with Goodreads reviews. I've never used it, but I know people here do, so ....

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
