'Out Of Gas'
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."
It's spelled Neil. edit: x-posty
And in August a book is coming out that contains all the stories that were auctioned (includes stories from Neil Gaiman and Doris Lessing.)
Heh, sumi, for a minute I thought you meant that Neil Gaiman and Doris Lessing had written stories in the Harry Potter universe!
Heh, I totally thought that too.
Hee. That would amuse. . . but no, I don't think that's what's going on.
(But the Rowling story apparently involves James and Sirius.)
Found at Readerville, but really from the New Yorker book blog:

Because lately the only thing that seems to sell better than books about vampires is books about Jane Austen, Publishers Weekly reports that the writer Michael Thomas Ford has sold his novel about “an undead Jane Austen, frustrated by nearly 200 years of writer’s block and 116 rejections of an unpublished novel she finished just before turning into a vampire.” I have nothing to add to the brilliance of this idea.—Andrea Walker

Ha ha, sumi! That's pretty funny, given that the play I'm auditioning for on Saturday, called Pride and Succubus, "combines the longing and whimsy of Jane Austen romance with the blood thirst of vampires."
I just got Knut's book delivered right to my hot little hands!
Now the challenge will be to not read it until I go on vacation next week...
Sweet! I pre-ordered it, but for some reason, it hasn't shipped yet.
Do we have a spoiler policy for this thread? I'm not planning to read the new Novik right away because I've decided to avoid anything in the same ballpark as the WIP until it's finished and polished...
