Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, if you want to send me a handful, I can put them in York and Manchester (maybe Leeds) with immediacy, and probably London and Dublin in the next few weeks.

Oooh, excellent penetration of the UK market.

You might want to post in press - since I suspect more people will pay attention to a posting from you than me.

Just my personal web site that came free with my internet connection - but since this is not going out to millions, I suspect it won't be overwhelmed.

Do you need my address, Hec? Can't remember if I gave it to any of y'all while I was there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

re: Libba Bray's The Sweet Far Thing, I really *ought* to re-read the first two books, but I'm too impatient to do so. I want to know what happens. And, at the same time, I don't want it to end. I'm about 100 pages into the 800+ pages, and Bray has done a really good job of bringing in things from the previous books so that I remember them without being bludgeoned by heavy-handed exposition.

Like Fee's rotten father. Feh on him. I totally forgot what a vile shit he is. I hope Bad Things happen to him.

....and that's all I've got, so far, other than wondering where the hell Kartik is.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Can anyone point me to a good online list of the reading order of Terry Pratchett's books?
