Woo-hoo! My Vampire People just arrived!
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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 smelled the smell?
Hey DebetEsse- The best Shakespeare set, if you can find it, is the out of print Everyman edition in three volumes. Look for a used copy. They are portable and readable, very convenient but nicer than paperbacks.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
So my sister was over - we talked a bit about WTVPPLTL She bought it but hasn't started it. However, the review that said you can't meet friends on the intenet now, she thought was , well, wrong. she only found her tribe on the net in the last year or so.

A professor of literature I know who is also interested in the history of cooking, recommends the following:
Egg Pies, Moss Cakes, and Pigeons Like Puffins DiMarco, Vincent
According to the blurb: "In this comprehensive and historically rich study, author Vincent DiMarco shares three original, never before published cookery manuscripts from eighteenth century England. Taken from the author's private collection, the manuscripts contain over five hundred recipes in their original form, but DiMarco further enhances the text with expert commentary and revitalizes one hundred of the recipes for today's kitchen with modern instructions."
Not my personal area of interest, but I suspect it may appeal to some Buffistas. The link is to a $6.00 ebook version; there is a printed version out there as well.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Is he the guy I heard on NPR talking about what it was like to eat one of those songbirds with the towel over your head?

Dunno. Just passing along a rec from I guy I really trust on this sort of thing. Don't really know anything about either the book or the author, other than if my source recommends it, it is probably a sterling example of its kind.
