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

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."
Laga, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.
Here is how much of a nerd I am: I kind of want the Barrayaran Military Academy t-shirt available here: [link]
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?
Press on! Then re-read Three Men, THEN re-read To Say Nothing!!
Because, um, I've never read Three Men. And still quite enjoyed To Say Nothing. And keep thinking I should read Three Men, and then re-read To Say Nothing, and haven't, yet.
What she said.
I can guarantee that if I read To Say Nothing *first,* and then Three Men, I will NOT re-read To Say Nothing. Not that soon, when there's so many other books wanting to be read.
There are many, many books wanting to be read, and yet I've read "To Say Nothing of the Dog" five or six times. I don't think a recent reading of "Three Men" is necessary; you'll recognize them. Have you read "Gaudy Night?" It's a big part of the book too.
Have you read "Gaudy Night?" It's a big part of the book too.
No -- Georgette Heyer? I've heard of it, but never read any Heyer. Will my reading of To Say Nothing suffer if I don't read Gaudy Night?
