I see Darth on LJ sometimes -- but he's not much there either. I guess he's too busy having a real life!
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

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."

Yes, he is. I hardly ever hear from him anymore. So sad. :(

Now tagless for your comfort.
Nice review, Cor. It's on my list to pick up at the library.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Even though I apparently have very contrary ideas about what makes for a good read? ;)
My goodness. If I didn't like people because they liked books I didn't/didn't like books I did, I'd be a very lonely woman!
does anyone even remember Darth?
Oh, yes. We miss him around here, too.

Hi! Yes and no. Finally finished up my own classes this summer. Been working on cleaning/weeding/organizing so my move goes easier. Just started re-looking for apts. Tues. I start new teacher orientation. I still am working on figuring out what I want to do with my classes.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My Mom and I used to belong to a Great Books group. One summer we read Nabokov's Lolita and it was surprisingly fun. I think the book's more about America than it is about Humbert the old perv.

does anyone even remember Darth?
Of course! I miss him. And I've missed you too, Callaluna! Glad to see you here again. :-)
Today is a tax-free holiday in Mass., so I'm going to take advantage of the fact by blowing a huge wad of cash on graphic novels. Fun!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I read Lolita riding Greyhound back and forth between California and New Orleans 9 years ago. I really enjoyed every other Nabokov I've read, but I just didn't see the point of that one.
I've been avoiding Greg Bear for a while now because I read some far future thing that really annoyed me and I think it was by him (but it might not be, I am all the time getting author's confused for no good reason (see Jack L. Chalker and Stephen Brust. how did I get those two mixed up? I have no idea) so I will let go of my possibly completely erroneous anti-Bear agenda and read Queen of Angels just as soon as my library puts it on the hold shelf for me. I t heart the hold shelf.
