Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Just don't start talking about that one with the giant ants ::shudder::

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Slate writes the ending to HP.

Points upthread and to cable drama.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why is Amazon saying that the illustrated Stardust won't be released until August. I'm positive I saw it in a bookstore a few weeks ago. (At least, I'm 90% sure I did.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

There's also a comics version of it: [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Stardust has always been illustrated -- the new edition is bigger and shinier, but the illustrations are absolutely an integral part of it, and always have been. Just so's we're clear.

See, I think I read the unillustrated, because it's what the library had. I skimmed the other, but I didn't read it again, as there were so many books at the library, and they were very pretty. So, that (and dial-up) is my excuse for having incomplete knowledge.
