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."
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.

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.

I couldn't help myself . . .
. . . not that I tried . . .
that was fun , connie, thanks
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.)
I wrote a 60 page paper in a college seminar on the dismal representations of women in the Alice books. Really, really bleak. He seemed pretty intent on convincing little Alice that no good can come of growing up and becoming a woman....

That sounds amusing. I did a report on him in seventh grade. He was an author, a photographer, and a mathematician!

Should I have guessed this would be Spike/Xander? I feel... soiled. The writing is excellent and I enjoyed reading it... but I couldn't finish.
