Oh, that is brilliant and awesome.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

Hey. New board.
Today, I scanned/entered all of my books into Delicious Library. They're uploading into my librarything account as we speak.
I am disappointed that i only have 220 books in my apartment. It does not feel like nearly a large enough number, and yet I don't have nearly enough shelf space for the hundreds more I want to have.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Did I kill the thread? or the hot librarians made everyone quietly shelve themselves in their bunks?

No reference to Giles? Mr. Uber-Librarian himself? Sadly lacking.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I saw some books at lunch that piqued my curiosity. Anybody read them and got a review?
The new Chabon book The Yiddish Policeman's Union.
Tracey Chevalier's new novel about Wm. Blake. Burning Bright.

The new Chabon book The Yiddish Policeman's Union.
Saw a positive review of this in Entertainment Weekly. Looked interesting in an alternate-history kind of way. Plus, detectiving! Chabon read up on a whole bunch of noir authors like Chandler and Hammett before writing the novel.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
NY Times Book Review also had a positive review of the new Chabon. I know Mrs. Industries is super-excited. What's Kiki Strike? The delivery service business getting extra-oppressive? Or has she joined the military?
