Yeah, the horror is too horrifying for me - I got through one (reading only in the daytime) and decided no on any others. But the Paladins are good, the variations on fairy tales I've read I've enjoyed. I think Swordheart is at or near the top of my list.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Uhura's Song, an excellent Trek novel from the Pocket Books era, is on sale for 99 cents today.

One of the like, three books I kept when I pared down my collection many years ago! So good.

Sweet! Bought.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Uhura's Song was what introduced me to Janet Kagan. I am a fan of all her work.
She was one of the first authors I looked for online, back in '97. She posted some nice winter snowfall pictures on her web site, so I sent her a few of mine, and we exchanged a few emails from time to time after that.
If you haven't read Hellspark or Mirabile, I recommend them even more highly than Uhura's Song.

I bought Hellspark last time you recommended it, I think, dcp, but I haven’t read it yet. And I have a sample of Mirabile to remind me get it eventually

I think Uhura's Song is the one where Chekov complains, "All doctors are wampires."

I got Mirabile for my sister - who didn't like it as much as I did - and for myself. My hard copy has disappeared, but I got the e-book. Somehow, my hard copy of Hellspark is still around. I liked it, but not as much as Mirabile. I have high hopes for Uhura's Song.

Wasn't it lovely? So good.
