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...
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to 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"
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.

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.

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.

This is my issue, Kathy. Not to mention that I went on a little shopping spree at Borders last weekend.
