Besides, there's nothing wrong with this line:
I was going to leave out the third selection in my quoted text, but "seasons flopped over" convinced me otherwise.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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."

Yeah, I'm going to have to say I find little purpose in her purple. It feels less stained glass, more Bedazzler.
Ha! But very true. And it's not like I'm disdainful toward lurid and overblown writing or anything.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ooh, Jilli, there was a review in Sunday's paper of a biography of Dr. Polidi - don't know if you'd be interested.
oops - Dr. Polidori (some days I can spell, really!)

I didn't know she wrote anything but books about writing.

OK. I just went to Amazon to see if the paperback of World War Z was out yet, and was bemused by the "Customers who bought this book.." suggestions.

Also, The Physics of the Buffyverse has a cool cover. [link]

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Twice a day behind their house the tide boarded the sand. Four times a year the seasons flopped over. Clams live like this, but without so much reading.
Hee! I like that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I read Physics of the Buffyverse last month. It was not what I wanted it to be, but once I got over that it was pretty enjoyable and explained some stuff I didn't understand before.
I've got World War Z out from the library, but I've been afraid to start reading it right before bed as I don't want to be lying in the dark trying to work out how zombie-proof my house is instead of sleeping.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I couldn't read Pilgrim at Tinker Creek ( and me an environmentalist!), but I loved An American Childhood and thought The Living was quite impressive. I don't recall being bogged down by the prose in either of those two.
