Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

One of my MA's is in Medieval Lit, so I like the papal bull. Hee.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I love Cryptonomicon -- I'm in the middle of rereading it right now -- but I haven't been able to get through Quicksilver.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I only had a brain...

I'm afraid I've been incredibly eeeeh about all her non-SF books. Here's hoping this isn't another fantasy.

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

I can understand the accusations of plagarism ( Rose ) also, as Pendulum and Eco's other writings (and I've read a LOT of his stuff) seem to all come from the same author, but Rose seems like a very different author.

But...wouldn't that be due to the narrator? I didn't know there were accusations of plagiarism.

I mean, they don't really have a leg to stand on anyway! Eco claims he just stumbled across Adso's manuscript and decided to translate it into Italian.
