10 on the men's list. 6 of those were because they were assigned in high school (Rabbit, Run; For Whom the Bell Tolls; Heart of Darkness; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Moby Dick; and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold).
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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."

Art Crawl!!!
Well, it was a reader submitted list. It makes you wonder who the readers are who submitted book titles.

Gone with the wind you have to read between age 13-and 15 to enjoy.
Heh. I first read it in sixth grade and loved it. I still go back and reread it every few years -- I don't love the same things that I loved then, but it's still a great story. Plus, I've now got the vocabulary to express exactly why I think Ashley's an idiot, whereas then, I mostly just got irritated without being able to explain why.

Hil is me, here. Although I don't really think Ashley and Scarlett were ever suited.

I don't think we were supposed to think Ashley and Scarlett were suited.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think that GWTW is somewhat important to read or see, because Rhett/Scarlett/Ashley seems to be the basis for a lot of love triangles in modern TV. But I am overinvested in the teen soap genre.

Hee! Joey Potter is no Scarlett O'Hara, but Dawson & Pacey map pretty much perfectly.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I tried to read Gone with the Wind but never got very far. I had the impression that the love triangle was a bit like the one in Wuthering Heights? But I may be off base there?

It is a bit like Wuthering Heights, but the Rhett (healthcliff) is more of a wastrel who we find out is secretly good than a good young man who turns rather nasty because of circumstances. Ashley/Linton maps pretty well though/

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I have to correct an error where I apparently accidentally got two drafts of the same paragraph so entangled they are practically having sex. I've spotted examples of this before in other people's writing. I'm curious: is it common enough error to have a formal name?
