Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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."
I saw that in the paper version recently! Hee.
"I remember when Phil was a little kid, instead of picking up a book, getting bored, and then throwing it at his sister, he'd actually sit down and read the whole thing," said mother Susan Meyer, who declared she has long given up trying to explain her son's unusual hobby. "At the time, we thought it was just a phase he was going through. I guess we were wrong."
Well. it looks like my blog is going to be quoted on LibraryThing's buzz page. I love it when people think I am amusing. Because I think I very funny, but not enough people seem to understand what's so funny.

Neat!
thanks, I am inordinately happy about this
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Actually - one please, Please, PLEASE! NO HBC as Alice. No. Bad Tim. No biscuit.
She might make a decent Queen, though.
NO HBC as Alice. No. Bad Tim. No biscuit.
this. zomg. she would make a fantastic queen.
>> And Dictionary of the Khazars
LOVE!
which version did you have ?
And Borges. Who apparently is one of Karl Rove's favorite authors (hah!)
Love the Book of Sand. Rove? really? Boggles. Maybe he just likes the titles?
Gaarder presents this as a translation of a work he somehow found by pure chance, translated...
Don't forget Marquez - who has his narrator act as a reporter in some of his short stories.
Oh, and if I'm going to lay out my full geek - Milton... Paradise Lost was dictated to him by an angel ('cept for the point where he refers to himself in the first person. whoops. blind-ass.).
I think I have the female version. (I'd check, but the shelf it's on requires a ladder.)
btw Jessica, check your comments.
The spine has a different color jewel - red or blue, I think.
I just finished The Golden Compass (hadn't read it before, have not seen the movie), and I was *riveted* for the entire last half of the book. Wow.
I disremember -- were people here saying that the next 2 aren't as good? And if they aren't, can you say why without spoiling the plot?
I feel like the plot kind of goes off the rails by the third book, and strains my credulity. I couldn't follow where Pullman went.
