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."

And suddenly, Marge Piercy's poems are relevant again. A Right to Life First published in 1980. I cut my feminist teeth on Piercy, among others, of course. But she was the voice in my head and my heart. I am sorry for the fresh relevance of her words.
One of my co-workers is reading The Handmaid's Tale and I mentioned that someone had commented it was not meant to be an instruction book.
Fans of The Goblin Emperor and Witness for the Dead might be interested in this short story, set in the same universe: [link]
Thanks Calli!!
Oh indeed, that was a lovely little story.
I just finished copperbadge's latest in the "Shivadhverse" series. [link]
The first work was predictable, but fun.
The second work was a little more twisty, but still fun -- enough that I couldn't wait for the chapter releases, and instead read the still-being-polished draft in Google Docs. I enjoyed it a lot.

Now I think I'm going to go re-read all of Leonard Wibberly's "Duchy of Grand Fenwick" books.
I have been having problems with reading new books, so I've gone on a massive re-read of the "In Death" series (out of order, picking them at whim). I suddenly realized something - when Eve wakes up in the morning, Roarke is watching the financial news with the cat on his lap. Sometimes she comes in and he's stretched out on the sofa with the cat on his lap. The REAL mystery - why doesn't he ever seem to have cat hair on his clothes?

That's his SF/mystery/romance hero superpower.

Especially since he's ALWAYS wearing black silk, and the cat is grey!

This is funny to me because I've always read them out of order, as I found them at used book stores or wherever, so I've undertaken to read/re-read them all in order.
