Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

Excellent quote, Corwood - thank you for sharing!

The Adjective Noun

I'm going to have to write a book just to name it this.

I can't recall the last of the Peabody books that I read. . . I think it was set during WWI - does that sound about right?

WWI is the era when Rameses and Nefret get their act together, and there are a few post-war books that cover their kids, some political intrigue, and I think the last one involves Tutankhamon's tomb.

I pre-ordered Knut's book today! *o/* Although the bookstore owner was confused because her online ordering thing said it wasn't coming out until June and yet I know he has hard copies now...

That Beckett dude can write a little.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

No kidding. He makes despair sound like the most sublime emotion people are capable of.

I just finished Gaiman's Fragile Things. The DH got it for me for Christmas, and then absconded with it.

I'm always a little disappointed with Gaiman's novels, but OMG his short stories! It's a difficult form, but really where he shines, I think.
