Here's hoping this isn't another fantasy.
I think it is, though it's not in the same world as Curse of Chalion, etc. Based on the teaser and sample chapter at the end of Hallowed Hunt.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm about 90 pages into Foucault's Pendulum. Most of my reading time is on the train or right before bed, but I'm having trouble with this one if there are any distractions or if I'm tired.

I loved Name of the Rose when I read it, and I just recently read Baudolino, which was a lot of fun. Haven't gotten around to Foucault's Pendulum.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
I'm trying to come up with authors who wrote in many genres, or for both children and adults, all under the same name.
Not sure about if he ever written something marketed as YA, but it'd be really hard to pinpoint Jonathan Lethem to a certain genre.

I've read Rose twice, and I've got a couple of Eco's essays that I really love. He's got a gorgeous snarky sense of humor.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I loved Foucault's Pendulum, Cryptonomicon, and the Baroque Cycle.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
