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."
Sure, you're not asked to attribute your sources, or footnote, when writing a historical novel (though I have seen BOTH done. And endnotes).
But not even bothering to freakin' PARAPHRASE? That's what really gets me. Just paraphrase a LITTLE bit, and no one would ever have noticed. YEEESH.
I love the Gibson quote. I almost want to add "Google everything, or create it online if it doesn't exist..." but it's Gibson, so I leave it perfect as is.
about the CE, I think not even bothering to freakin' PARAPHRASE? That's what really gets me. Just paraphrase a LITTLE bit, and no one would ever have noticed. YEEESH.
Well played, Sox.
Hah! It even took me a second...
It took me a couple too, meara.
New Philip Pullman story to be published by Random House this spring.
It took me a couple too, meara.
thanks guys -
I'm glad to see that the CE story is getting national coverage in the mainstream press. I like to tink that it shows that it is being taken seriously.
I've been doing a little book reviewing in my blog - for BART reads mostly . ( that's my term for fun reads) . I just did one for anges and the hitman which is a much better book than the first team effort by Crusie and Mayer.
I really enjoyed Agnes and the Hitman, too, and I didn't finish the first Crusie/Mayer collaboration.
I just finished Gentlemen of the Road, which was the first Michael Chabon I've ever read. I thought it was a lot of fun as a playful take on old-school adventure stories--not the kind of book I'd want to read week in and week out, but great as something different.
I didn't finish Don't Look Down, either. Didn't get past the first chapter, actually.
My Libba Bray came today! It's gorgeous and promisingly thick! Very excited.
