What else am I forgetting?
That sounds right, but I have to reread it before I pick up The Sweet Far Thing.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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."

And something with the Rakshana, but I can't really remember that.

Yeah. My one contribution to that slapfight was pointing out to him that, for a professional communicator, he was having to do an awful lot of clarification and restatement, and that might kinda sorta be a problem.
Did he respond to that? (I ask mostly out of curiousity, for in all the times where I've seen that particular point made to people, I've never seen anyone say, "Damn. You're right. I'm not being clear.")

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
IIRC, his response was something akin to "no, it's just that everyone else won't understand what I mean!"

I can strategically place some postcards 'round the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville area, David. Shoot 'em my way.

Hec, I note you didn't include the cultural wasteland of WashDC/NoVA on List of Places to Pimp Book, but if you'd like, I'd be happy to seed bookstores and Starbucks (plus clones) and books-and-music stores with your postcards.

Yo! Send them on and I will put them in LA places I frequent, like Golden Apple Comics, Meltdown Comics, local comic shop (Earth 2), Amoeba (if I make it over there - that place is nuts!), and others.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sweet!
Yes, Raq, DC would be great.
Thanks, Jon and GC! Awww, Buffistas are the pimpingest.
