KNUT!!!
I have to buy your book soon. It is on my todo list.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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."

New, fully poseable Author!Knut.
Howdy!
You know, books make excellent gifts, too. (I'm sure Allyson, Hec and Hayden will back me up on this.) BUT NO PRESSURE.

Yeah, I wish there was a Buffista Book Bulk Order thang!
Signed, still has multiple copies of Swordfishtrombones that I haven't wrapped, needs to give another Vampire People book as a gift, and don't get me started on the REST of the stack.

The FAQ tells you all you need to know.

Folks, has anyone here read Sunshine by Robin McKinley? NPR just discussed this book and recommended it, but the commenters on Amazon seem more mixed. I read Robin's much earlier book when I was a teenager Beauty and it is one of my favorite books of all time. Her (re)telling of "beauty and the beast" was just wonderful.
So if Sunshine is close to being that good, I'm on board.
(BTW, I did a search of this thread and found the book in 2 posts. Typo Boy seemed to like it)

Yeah definitely liked Sunshine. Been a while, so memory is fading. I think I liked it best of the McKinley books, but that is compared to Blue Sword, not Beauty. I am starting to worry a bit about my memory, because I know I read Beauty, and I can't remember anything about it.

Sunshine is fantastic. It's one of the books I find myself re-reading every year.

We just watched the movie of Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead (quite good) and then on Disc 2, the interview with Tom Stoppard.
Well, we watched most of the interview, because Sweet Fancy Moses, for someone who wrote such a witty play, his interview was as boring as death. How does that happen?
