Actually, this is now my sixth post in four years, and I'm going back to lurkage for the foreseeable future. But thank you, and I hope you enjoy the books!
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am currently reading this book [link] which is the third in the series and it is so cute.
The author must have been a Buffy fan. It's light, it's fluffy, it's fast reading.
I like it.
Anyone else picked it up?

Wait, it's a Third? Damn. I bought it 'cause it looked fun, but I didn't realize it was a mid-series book. Now I can't read it until I get the first two. Phooey.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Callaluna, if you're getting desperate and MUST have something about 20th century Quakerism, possibly a biography of Richard Nixon?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
If you want to go for nonfiction, there's Among Friends, M.F.K. Fisher's memoir about growing up as a non-Quaker in Quaker Whittier, Calif. It can be seen as somewhat unflattering to Quakers, although her main point is what it's like to live outside of a closed society.

I'm reading World War Z and am very impressed. Like the best zombie movies, it's a socio-political commentary about the world now, rather than a slasher shriekfest. Some of the stories get repetitive, but it is rather brilliant.
