Thanks, Amy! Trying to include what I can remember in my reading paper and I know I read some of his stuff.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

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."

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Because books.
The Pigman is the only title I can remember off the top of my head, but I know I read all of his stuff at one point.

Art Crawl!!!
Paul Zindel website. His name was so familiar. . . titles I recall are My Darling, My Hamberger , Pardon Me You're Stepping on My Eyeball and possibly To Take a Dare and David and Della.
I don't think I actually remember reading The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds but wasn't it also a play or something?

Oh, God, I forgot that one! I think it was either a play of a MOW or something.
I definitely read My Darling, My Hamburger and Pardon Me... He was great.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My first scene in directing class was from The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in the Moon Marigolds! I love that play, although I suspect it might be a little dated now.

Yes, and Paul Newman made it into a movie with Joanne Woodward (he only directed).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Disquieting news:
Elsewhere, Empire reports that the Stoker clan have sold the film rights to the forthcoming officially approved sequel to Dracula (that's the 1897 novel by Bram). The new book has been written by the latter's great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker, apparently in accordance with notes left by his illustrious ancestor for a second book. Dacre has also had help from award-winning Dracula documentarian and historian Ian Holt, and the title, Dracula: the Undead, also originated with Bram. So it's all as official as official can be. Holt has also written a screenplay with Alexander Galant, and the film should start shooting in June 2009. Speed director Jan de Bont is producing.
