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."
I read the article. Jesus, it’s so much worse than I thought. Those poor women; I hope to G-D they’re able to heal.
… the amount of careful work he did to make sure so many of us who knew him didn’t know about his behavior. Sure, if you had the right connections, you knew he’d hooked up with fans in the past. And all of us 1) believed those were consensual, and 2) that he’d stopped doing that.
I don’t know how I feel about my huge collection of Gaiman-related books and collectibles. I think I’m going to hang on to everything, at least for a while, but it’s all going to be boxed away.
Totally shallow, and I 100% know that, but I’m selfishly glad I started wearing/collecting ankhs because of the vampire/eternal life meaning, not Sandman reasons.
Not *totally* shallow. You could be shallower.
Atropa, I’m thinking the same about boxing them up and keeping them. Of course, it’s not just my bookcase that’s filled with them, it’s ltc’s too.
You know, on the "passing books along" thing, I think there's value in providing a way for people to have access to what are undeniably important cultural works without having to buy new editions and putting money into the pockets of awful people.
Oh, dear. That's rough, sj
That's a good point, Debet.
I am getting rid of several Gaiman books. Like most of us, I'm keeping Sandman and Good Omens so far. I also really loved Neverwhere and am inclined to hang onto it for now. I just culled a few others just last week, but I'm thinking now I'll go back and take out a couple more. Suddenly glad neither of my kids has gotten into The Graveyard Book yet.
Haven't read the article itself but I read a synopsis of sorts on the Rolling Stone website that was nearly enough to make me physically ill, so I think I probably know as much as I can handle.
I'm also selfishly glad that my Good Omens hyperfixation has waned a lot since S2 came out, though I do still want to see S3, whenever it airs and whatever it turns out to be. Do we know if it's been entirely rewritten by someone else, or are they still using some of what Gaiman wrote?
That's a good point, Debet.
Seconded. I pulled a few of the books to give to the library. Keeping the others for now, I guess.
Oh, dear. That's rough, sj
He’s a celebrity to her. He’s one of the first authors whose names she knew because he was in an episode of “Arthur”.
Kate, I know he was not involved in the filming at all but I don't know about the rewriting. At least, that's what I remember. And I also want to see season 3, but not as rabidly as season 1 had me.
