Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I love it! (I just re-read the book the other week, too.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That's very funny. But I don't get the icons--I'm guessing it's some Facebook thing?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, those are the icons Facebook uses.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh that's adorable, and I say that as a non-FB fan.

I have achieved a personal library goal, Philip Gosse's History of Piracy. Hooray for small presses that reprint interesting books. My copy was done in 1988, and there's a note on the copyright page saying that the copy that the press used to reprint was found by International Booksellers, which makes me think original copies are not so easy to track down.

Wonderful bibliography, if only I read French and Spanish and Dutch and could find copies of 400-year-old books etc. Several pages on my pirate ancestor, Jan Jansen AKA Murat Reis.

I need another bookshelf.

So I read House of Leaves.

Go.
