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.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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."

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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?

I saw that movie in the theatre, and had to see it a second time because we were laughing so hard in parts, we missed bits of the movie. Also, my DVD only has one disc. I don't even have the boring interview with Tom Stoppard.

Oldman and Roth are an awesome comedy duo in R&GaD!! I'd love to see them teamed up again in something similar (not that there are many things that are similar to R&GaD - maybe Waiting for Godot, which Beckett always saw as a sort-of comedy).

Knut! All sorts of bravo! I loaned "Superpowers" to a friend, who then broke down and bought it, and is recommending it to a couple of his friends. Hopefully all will be purchases.

Has anyone ever read a book called Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini? I found a cheap copy of it on the bargain rack of Barnes and Noble today and it looked interesting, so I picked it up. Any good?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's the basis for the Errol Flynn movie of the same name, a classic swashbuckler.
