I'm reading that Ken Follett cathedral book(don't ask) and while I freely confess to being ignorant of medieval English church history, it bugs that the heroine, despite having her virginity stolen from her by three, angry, power-mad nobles is so orgasmic that her True Love barely has to touch her hand before she is blissed-out and screaming. ETA: I mean to say, I'm glad he wants her to like it and those scenes enliven a book that is preoccupied with eaves and what-have-you, but it seems like dubious psychology.
Gunn: We open a can of Machiavelli on his ass. Harmony: It's Matchabelli, Einstein, and it doesn't come in a can.

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."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh. My. God.
I just got to the "Fucking her ass. Saving her life." quote in the review. And I'm CRYING with laughter. And possibly picturing it rewritten as really, really, really bad Supernatural fic.
Hec! Excellent news!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm thinking of it as replacing "Saving people, hunting things" in the previouslies.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
And here I'm thinking "Save the cheerleader, save the world." She seems to have coined a phrase that's widely applicable.
