Things to know about Richard Osman:
He is very smart.
He is very tall.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I had no idea of the tallness. Okay!
There's a 45 minute conversation included at the end of The Thursday Murder Club between him and another author whose name I didn't catch but she wrote The Grown-ups, I think? It's also a good listen. So at this point that is mostly how I know him, I suppose.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
My hold came in at the library so I just started Thursday Murder Club last night. I'm quite enjoying it so far.

I like the Paladin books but I really want more Swordheart as well!

Agreed, Consuela. Beartongue meantioned "swords" in Paladin's Grace, so now I want to know what happened.

I have faith we will get more swords. I’m being very patient about it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, there are two more swords out there ... they deserve their own books.

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.
If you're reading - or rereading - Dune before the release of the new film, I found this essay worth a look.

Not rereading, (I think I remember enough from my last reread? That may be foolish, we shall see) but that looks fascinating

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm supposed to be in a meeting but I'm not on camera so nobody can see me hitting refresh on this.
