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.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

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."

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!

So I was just wikipedia-dipping and discovered that one of the two stories in Soon I Shall Be Invincible is a complete rip of the Tomorrow Woman storyline.
