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."
There are romance readers who won't read women's fiction because "If I want realism, I'll look at my own life, I don't need it in my books." (This is the kind of reader who tends to give romance as a whole a bad name... )
Well, that's basically the reason that the only romance I do read is Regency. (Exceptions to this rule are made for Jennifer Crusie). But I don't generally pick up contemporary fiction anyway. I'm slowly changing that as I have more time to read now.
how the heck did we not talk about Roald Dahl??? I mean, really?
Ooooh. Thanks meara!
meara should always be thanked twice, right? (Double post. I don't know why it did that.)
Oh my - just when I think I couldn't possibly love xkcd any more: House of Pancakes
Jess, your blue font made me laugh and laugh.
"The decision to not hyphenate "kids only" is likely related to the omission of the serial comma. I wonder if the author is British. I wonder if he sleeps at night."
Jess, your blue font made me laugh and laugh.
It seemed appropriate.

I was very confused until I clicked the hyperlink and only part of it turned purple. Hee.
I've wanted to read House of Leaves for a while. It looks even more daunting now.
I just thought of a narrator who's both reliable and unreliable-- Briony in ATONEMENT. The epilogue of the book is just one big WTF when you realize what McEwan did with the narrative.
I wanted to smack him almost as much as I wanted to worship at his feet.
Oooh! Briony! I loathed her as much as I loathed Nelly Dean.
