To again save anyone from having to read it, Gaiman put a statement out on his website today, basically amounting to: "Nuh-huh."
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Of course.
I appreciate you saving me that step

I read it before your warning, Dana, and I'm sickened all over again.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
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.
Same here - I have a lot of stuff. Including dolls from ita. I'm not sure when I'll be able to look at them again.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ouch, Juliana. That’s rough.

Atropa I thought of you when I read about Gaiman , not that I thought he hurt you , but I know what a big deal he had been and...the whole thing sucks.

If I wanted to get the kids (18 and 21, currently reading Brandon Sanderson aloud to each other) into Bujold, what’s my starting point?

Much as I love Cordelia's stories, I'd start with Miles' - Warrior's Apprentice. He's more their age.

Oh, huh, I am somewhat surprised to find I don't have an obvious answer. Penric is the series I am most in love with, and I think they probably are best read in order, so maybe Penric's Demon?
For Vorkosigans, jeez, what is a good entry point? I really enjoyed my internally chronological readthrough but I don't think that's a good way to get introduced. Hm.
