Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

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."

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

A Harry/Colbert pairing?

Not sexual, thank goodness. But it's bloody hysterical.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Between Lorien and Rivendell.

The rated M one at that page called "Shorts Weather" is a tad more disturbing--it's Bill O'Reilly/Colbert (mild) slash!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Harry Potter and the Eagle of Truthiness.

Oh, it's been WAY too long since I looked at that. Love it.

The only non-Colbert related HP fanfic I read is the ongoing project Facilis Descensus Averno, which is dark juicy Slytherin backstory.

I have to bring it up every so often. Just because.

Also, as there are other books out there besides "Harry Potter," I'm almost done with Michael Chabon's "The Yiddish Police Union." Which is a lovely, weird little book.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I have the new Chabon book but haven't started it yet. Is good?

Took me a while to get into it, what with the Jewish names and Yiddish diction. At first pass, I thought it was a bit impenetrable. Then I got used to it, and now it's hard to put down. Once it takes off, it just goes.

move out and draw fire

I don't know what's wrong with me, as I'll be in Carlisle Freaking PA (home to the Carlisle Bike Show this weekend) from Friday afternoon on, rather than taking Mal to a bookstore/Potter party.

Maybe I'll compromise and get my motorcycle helmet painted with the Ravenclaw crest.

(Um, I'm not really going for the bike thing)

OK, other books: I just read The Sharing Knife. Took about 2 seconds. Bujold goes down easy, I have to say. I was sort of skimming though, because I wanted to quickly get thru all the blah blah relationship crap and back to killing malices.

Oh well.

This was my experience if Chabon's Mysteries of Pittsburgh and The Adventures of Cavalier and Clay. The latter, in audio, was riveting.

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

I've been wanting to read Yiddish Policemen's Union, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I think it's next on my list, after Harry Potter.
