Those are very plausible! And awesome.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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 tried a few and liked "The Lady of Gunpowder"

I just hit The Countess of Integrity and I think I'll just keep that one up for a while

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.

I'm reading the Nov/Dec issue of Asimov's (it actually came out last week which seems way too early in October for the November issue of anything, but so did Ellery Queen do I guess that is just how things are) and just got to On Books which this month is Norman Spinrad. I am ambivalent about Spinrad at best, I really liked Child of Fortune when I read it but most of his otherstuffthatI read on the strength of that didn't like so much and he seems kind of damn-kids-offa-my-lawn as a reviewer, but I did read this one, spending the first half trying to remember if I like Harry Turtledove (I don't think I have an opinion on him, ultimately) and the second half trying to figure out if I really don't like Greg Bear or if I have him confused with some other author I don't like (I googled his bibliography and I am pretty sure one of his books is the one that I really disliked so I think it *is* him i dislike although possibly unfairly, sp figuring thatvout feels like a win!) but in the middle he makes a sweeping statement that there are a lot of deus ex machina endings in SF and fantasy "such dramatic failures even tending to dominate Hugos and Nebulas" and I have no idea what he is talking about. It's very likely that I haven't read enough award nominated/winning stuff to judge. It's also very possible that I would not be bothered by or necessarily notice such "dramatic failures" in the same way as Spinrad. But I thought maybe some of you would have opinions?
