I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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."

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

William Carlos Williams fans will appreciate today's Wondermark.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The title of the comic? Yeah, hee. Did you read the alt-text?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I left early for work today to stop by the library and then completely forgot to do so.

But of course!

I've got Poisonwood Bible. huh, she just used "irregardless". I wonder if it was a purposeful insight into that particular narrator.

not your mom's socks.

Laga, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here is how much of a nerd I am: I kind of want the Barrayaran Military Academy t-shirt available here: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooh! I want ALL of them!

I stopped after The Vor Game, and really need to get back to them.

But I just started To Say Nothing of the Dog today, and am already sucked in. (Though I wonder if I should re-read Three Men in a Boat before I go any further, because although I read it in college, well, that *was* 21 years ago [egad!], and I can't remember one single thing about it.)

What say you all? Re-read Three Men in a Boat? Or press on with To Say Nothing of the Dog?
