Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Discussion Threads

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."

Always Anti-fascist!

I saw the film of Persepolis...it was brilliant.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I read the graphic novel. It was pretty amazing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been wanting to read Persepolis, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I read The Devil's Arithmetic when I was a kid. I don't think I've read any of the others.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I've read all of those!

Not a fan of Birchbark House, but that was my Louise Erdrich issue. I did like Kira-Kira but didn't think it was award worthy.

Our wings are not tired.

The Erdich book I loved loved loved was Love Medicine, but every other book I've read by her has suffered in comparison. Or maybe they suffered alone. I know I suffered.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I agree. I love "Love Medicine" but I'm betting the prof has taught it so many times in the last 20 years that prof needed a shift.

(I am going back and forth between using italics or quotations or nothing at all for book titles. I just realized that I follow whoever goes before me in the thread. I am a lemming!)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I like italics or all-caps for book titles, movie titles, TV series names, and album names, then quote marks for article titles, episode titles, and song titles.

Just no underlining for titles, please? Underlining now means it should be a hyperlink.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

HTML writers that just underline and don't change the colour or other form of the link should be smacked.
