Well played, Sox.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
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.

Because books.
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.

I'm more than halfway through, and I'm really loving it. I don't want it to end...but I want to know how it turn out.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I watched Philip Pullman on Charlie Rose - very interesting to hear him speaking about the Dark Materials trilogy. He was saying that it was about a loss of innocence, yes, but more as growing out of innocence into wisdom rather than a loss.
