haven't read AOGG in decades. Hmm. We are starting to talk about chapter books, so likely in the next decade we'll revisit. Thx for the reminder! ION d and I decided that the King short story mentioned above may be a lit equivalent of an ita link. You've been warned.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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."

Because books.
I read the Stephen King short story "In A Tight Spot" last night, after a friend had called it a classic. I'm still kind of stunned.

Which collection is it in, Sox?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Poisonwood- For a moment there I thought I was starting to like these people but then I realized it's only the secondary characters I'm enjoying reading about.

I don't know...I liked them, but I rolled my eyes a lot, too.Especially at Rachel, cause she didn't learn a damn thing!

I got the latest Kushiel book from Amazon in the mail yesterday. I am trying not to read it until I am on a plane on Monday. Aaaaaaahah.

"How come if God talks to Joseph Smith, he's a prophet- but if God talks to me, I'm schizophrenic?" -CJ Cox.
I'm still -after three months- trying to make my way through "We Were the Mulvaney's." I like it very much and it's quite a good read, but for some inexplicable reason, I keep getting distracted by other tasty literary morsels.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I found Michael Tolliver Lives in paperback at Border's over the weekend and am about halfway through. I've missed Mouse so much and so far, I'm loving the book. It's all from Michael's POV - no jumping from person to person - and even though it is so different from the rest of the series, it's just wonderful.
I know Maupin said this wasn't a sequel, but I don't care. It's totally the 7th book. Although they have switched the cover art on all of the books, so I may have to buy a new set so they match.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, I forgot about that! So I just put it on hold at the library. Yay Mouse!
