I don't like audio books, so the characters and narration sound like I want them to. It may make some hard copy books more palatable.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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"

Always Anti-fascist!
David Duchovny wrote a pandemic novella, too,

Because books.
I'm sure they weren't the only ones to break through pandemic writer's block by just giving up and writing a completely different book that year!
Not books, but Fall Out Boy and Pink both released blatantly influenced-by-the-pandemic albums.

However, his version of Little Fuzzy made me angry.
Oh, that might be why I wasn't reading him! I didn't read his version, but I looked at the summary and wasn't happy about it. Not that I remember the Fuzzy books all that well from when I read them but it didn't sound right at all.

This will make someone a good doctoral thesis, right? How long do you have to wait for it to be properly academic, I wonder

Also, adding Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting to my queue. I keep getting ready to start reading KJ Charles and then getting overwhelmed with all the choices and reading something else, but I am making the decision now that that one I will read soonish

Absolutely. Either comparing the various books or comparing to an authors other books or comparing to previous plague books like the Decameron…

And Principia Mathematica or whatever Newton wrote during his plague, I suppose

That one is so good. There are several GAoFH Easter Eggs in The Gentlemen's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel. Oh, and also, Wanted: A Gentlemen (which I cannot recommend enough).
Has anyone read Hench? I own it but haven't gotten to it, in the Evil Villain Genre.
I'm currently listening to The Keeper's Six and can say, I am loving these older, badass protagonist ladies.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
GAoFH wasn't my favorite of hers, and since it is October I will recommend the Magpie Lord books as an appropriately spooky starting point.

Hm. I seem to already own Magpie Lord.
