I read Sundiver out of order, didn’t like it as well, don’t remember why.
Then there is a second trilogy, also weird but fun.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.
Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I actually just downloaded Startide Rising after reading your.post. Sundiver was a bit of a slog at parts, but overall a cool conceit, I thought. Looking forward to this one. Also, it was free!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I read those a million years ago and don’t remember much, although I do know I liked the series. Making a note to myself to revisit
Eta: ooh, free is good! Add to library!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I have started re-reading Anne Rice so that's gonna keep me busy for a while (I haven't decided how far I want to go, I stopped with The Body Thief or Memnoch the Devil (I honestly can not figure out if I read Memnoch the Devil or not) the first time around but I'm kind of intrigued by Atlantis)
Atlantis is A Thing. A very weird thing. But hey, it gave me the habit of saying "SPAAAAAAAAACE BIIIIIIIIIIRBS!" at random, which I think is hilarious.

Always Anti-fascist!
Almost done with this book and really loving it unless the final chapter is a complete disaster. "Funny You Should Ask" [link]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
K.J. Charles' The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting is on sale (Amazon). Well worth the full price I paid, but SALE!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I have my SIGNED copy. And I cite it to people because in the list of Goth wardrobe essentials, the first item is multiple lint rollers (which indicates practicality).

Hee!
I have a paper copy, too (though it is not signed), but more people should buy this in any format.
