Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Holy shit! That's so nuts. I mean, I'm sure it's a load of fun, but it's a 2001 romance, not a frickin' Gutenburg.
If no one has a loaner, I will definitely wait for the reissue.
(Thanks for looking, tho, Jon!)

Erin, I can check it out of the library, send it to you, and then return it when you send it back, if you like?

Oh, honey, that seems like a lot of trouble to go to just to satisfy my lust for books.
I'll wait, or bug my sister into doing...something about it (she works at Borders and Has Connections.)
But I love you for offering!

Erin, can you see if your library can get it through InterLibrary Loan?

It was a good book. I liked that series a lot. Let me know if your sister doesn't come through. I've requested it, so if you don't want it when I get it then I'll return it, but if you do, well, here it will be.

Request for book info:
Several years ago there was a non-fiction book about night time. It essentially talked about human sleep cycles and said that in the days when people went to bed with the sun it wasn't uncommon for people to wake up partway through the night and interact--and no, that doesn't mean sex. The author theorized that people chatted with neighbors and such till they got tired again and went back to bed for the rest of the night. Which makes sort of sense, considering how long the night can get in Europe.
Does this sound at all familiar?

No, but it does sound interesting.

I googled and one of the books that came up was The Mind at Night by Andrea Rock from 2005. Is that too recent?

Sadly, yes, too recent, but interesting.
