I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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."

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I knew the hivemind wouldn't let me down. I love Atwood and Paley and sometimes Lippmann(Although she's a life-stealing heffa and I don't like her series books as well as the stand-alones. Which is not related to the heffa issue.) Off-topic, Corwood: thanks for the pimpage.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's a joke. Because she's a best-selling mystery novelist and I'm a wannabe, and she's married to my Fake Literary Husband. So it's like she has the life I wanted or something. (mock-shaking fist) Bitch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Laura Lippman and David Simon are married?!? I had no idea! That's cool.

Oh, *phew* -- I thought for a moment that you were saying she'd done your FLH wrong or something! Because I lurve her, and lurve the two being together even more (even if he is totally your FLH).

Well, I guess they only recently made it legal, but they've been all BodymoreMurderland4-ever1!!for sometime.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

You may notice as you watch The Wire that Bunk is often reading a Lippman novel.

That's really funny, and probably something I never would have noticed!

I didn't catch it until the third viewing, but I never know if I'm just being slow.

I'm almost always looking at something else while I'm "watching" TV, so that kind of thing always gets by me unless I know to pay attention.
