Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"

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.

The Well-Endowed and the Sinful!

These are all extremely plausible yet very amusing. Cannot stop refreshing

Those are very plausible! And awesome.
