You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm an absolutist about my authority and innate rightness! Otherwise, yes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, I just loves me some Corwood.

Yeah...in another world, he could bend me over a radio car any day. (ha...rare circle that will recognize that as a tender compliment)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just finished The Amber Spyglass. And while I could see that ending coming from a mile away, there were still a lot of in-between parts that seriously surprised me. Also, I think I need a much better background in Catholic theology to understand what he was trying to do with several sections. Overall, though, exciting read.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So, I read a prequel The Land and a squel Let the Circle be Unbroken to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Wonderful books, all three. I feel kinda dumb for being so scared of them.

Hil, I finished it this weekend, too. And yes, the ending was pretty predictable, and I also don't think that Pullman earned it (I can think of several different ways that Lyra and Will could have stayed together). But honestly? I think I liked it best of the trilogy, mostly because of the mulefa world where Mary Malone was. For some reason, I just adored that part.

I just couldn't take that part seriously because it always always became muffaleta in my head.

When my daughter was reading Amber Spyglass we spent at least 30 minutes trying to draw the mulefa. (lisah, I say muffaleta too! Annoyed the female child like whoa!)
