can anyone suggest a mystery genre blog/group on par with Smart Bitches? For a friend of mine.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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."

Ann, that's a ferret.
I loved the Another Fine Myth series. (Pervert. No! Pervect!)
I also read the first Thieves' World book. It was very well done but exactly the wrong thing when you're in the mood for something light and entertaining.

This is the sort of thing that makes me feel old. I knew Bob back in the Yang the Nauseating days. This is like the sixth recent death of people I knew in my early con-going days.
