This movie looks very interesting. Not exactly what I was looking for but I'm gonna have to check it out. I'm going to look up Turtledove too. Thanks, guys.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I know I read a short story that had, no, the North still won but won faster so the US wasn't so war-weary after and entered WWI earlier. And then there was time-travel. Good story, I wish I could remember the title.

The movie's a bit silly, but not terrible.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm going to Borders after work to buy Midnight's Children, but in order to use a coupon, I need to buy something else. Quick, recommend me books worth owning that I should read.

P-C, have you read The Namesake? I read it for book club and finished it last night. It's about an Indian-American family.

I loved the movie and have wanted to read the book. It was one of the ones I was thinking of getting. Seems as good a choice as any! Thanks.

not your mom's socks.
P-C - it's probably too late, but (staying with the area, but not the period, necessarily) The God of Small Things Arundati Roy; A Fine Balance Rohinton Mistry, A River Sutra, Gita Mehta.
Also Haroun and the Sea of Stories, also by Rushdie

There are so many Indian authors! I'll have nothing left to write about!

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

Oh, I thought it was completely terrible. One of the laziest and sloppiest pieces of filmmaking I've ever seen.

Maybe so. I remember laughing at something in it, but I don't actually remember anything at all about the movie, just my impressions of it.
