Do the men have sex with each other in the Anita books? I don't remember that, I remember it being all about Anita and the hetero sex only.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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!
After you read Alice - pick up a copy of The looking Glass wars
I talked to the author of that at Wondercon!
After I read Alice, I'm actually reading Through the Looking Glass.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Alice and Through the looking glass are one to me. Even though the second was written under heavy influence . ( I thought that as an innocent child)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for the first time. I swear, it's like he just made shit up as he went along.
He totally does. When I was reading the British cult kids book Uncle I noticed the same thing. "He's just making shit up!" Then realized that this is a bit part of the bagginess of Narnia (here's a faun, here's a giant sized swashbuckling rat...), and also a part of the Harry Potter books.
I've concluded that "Just Making Shit Up" is an actual British fantasy tradition.

I wrote a paper in Victorian Lit on "Alice's Search for Identity." The paper was mostly bullshit, but it got an A+ from the prof, so I'm not complaining.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
(this is before she gest the sex powers)
This may be my favorite typo ever.
After you read Alice - pick up a copy of The looking Glass wars
I'm going to assume this isn't the LeCarre novel.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I did a paper in high school on how Carroll, who was a math professor, twisted all the laws of math and logic around in Alice. Fun paper to write. (Also, P-C, you might enjoy the logic book he wrote. It's published as a cheap paperback now. It was meant as a sort of introductory logic textbook, sort of "Everyman's Logic." The sorts of things he uses for the examples are great. I think there were a few directly from a few sceness in Alice.)
