I'm in the middle of The Vor Game right now. The one shortcoming is not enough Cordelia.
I haven't read any of the Cordelia-centric books yet. I have to go backwards in chronology after finishing this compendium and correct that problem.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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."

Hey. New board.

Why did no one mention the new Kushiel book was out? I was so tempted to buy it tonight, to read in the hotel room tonight and tomorrow. But there is no room in my luggage for a hardback. Not to mention no room in my budget...

Someone needs to report on McCarthy on Oprah. I thought The Road was astonishing, but so not the book I would expect Oprah to grok, or to pick for her book club.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
erika, Schutz is ... well, I don't know if "sick fucker" is an accurate description, but he's kind of grim. Lots of people die. He's good, but not a ray of sunshine.

Oh, I love his work. He's like a feral Faulkner.
Genius! I love him too although I haven't read the Road yet. I had to take a break from the post-Apocalypse for a while.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oh, and for the grammatically inclined (isn't that all of us?) - I was leafing through a book of erotica at Borders and came across a story where the heroine is named Cedilla. Heroes are Asterisk and Apostrophe.

I hope the colon doesn't make an appearance.

I think my role on the board has become setting up for comm-worthy posts.

The Printers Row Book Fair is this weekend. Anyone going?

That place has huge money-suck potential for me, so I'd better avoid it. Damnit. Maybe next year.
