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.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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."

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).

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.
