Aimee, now you need to read Anansi Boys.
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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Punishingly Intricate
I didn't pick it up cause of the Terry Pratchett thing cause I tried to read Pyramids and one of the witches books and couldn't get into it.
I couldn't really get into Pratchett either but I loved Good Omens, fwiw.
Have you read the Sandman? Not a novel, obviously, but a very good story nonetheless.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ditto.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Have you read the Sandman?
I've not. I think Joe has it. Somewhere.

I've not. I think Joe has it. Somewhere.
Or maybe Neverwhere.

If Joe doesn't have it, tell him I'm revoking his ComicGeek card this instant.
I think you would like Coraline and Good Omens a lot.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have Stardust, which I think you would like. My Coraline is at school. Em would adore The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish. I have Sandman, if Joe is missing any. Although, I'm not sure I'd recommend it for you. I also have Good Omens, Mr Punch, and 1602 (Oh! You should read 1602! It's Marvel Superheroes in Elizabethan England and the colonies.). I am currently reading Neverwhere, but would gladly lend it to you when I finish.
Ummm...not that I'm a Gaiman fangirl or anything.

Yeah, I think Aimee would like Stardust, and much of Gaiman. Don't think she would like Neverwhere. Just an impression.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I could see it going either way. I'm a bad test subject, as I saw the BBC first.

Joe had some Sandman. He also has Neverwhere. And Good Omens.
We just need to find them all.
Or go to the bleeding library.
