Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

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 then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The status is NOT quo.
Laurie King uses that same conceit for her Mary Russell series.

Do you guys remember what the upperlimit of books you could catalog with a free Library Thing Account?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh! I need to pimp an amazing book. I don't know if any of you are familiar with Janna Levin's work (she's a theoretical physicist whose work focuses on the nature of the universe, black holes, etc.), but she's a lyrical writer. Her web site is here. Anyway, she's known for her academic writing and her nonfiction (such as How the Universe Got Its Spots," which wrestles with the question, "Is the universe infinite, or is it just really big?"), but she recently published an incredible piece of fiction called A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines based on her research about the lives of Kurt Godal and Alan Turing. It's....wow. Beautiful. Fascinating.
She was one of the presenters at the Key West Literary Seminar, and she impressed me with her staggering intellect, not to mention her sense of humor and poise.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I don't like Alice in Wonderland.
Just thought I'd say.
