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 don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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."

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

Our wings are not tired.
(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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Almost the first thing I do with any new browser is set links to not be underlined.

I didn't finish the second Sharing Knife book because I wasn't that interested in the inter-family stuff, I was more interested in the knife itself etc. I still need to find the second Cordelia book.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm able to ration chapters and keep myself from staying up too late reading but it's a battle to put it down sometimes. Still I'm less than 200 pages in.
When Fay wrote about stories within stories within stories I thought it might be confusing but now that I'm in the thick of it I understand. The beginnings of tales are good places to take a break. Maybe if I take long enough reading I won't be done until April 7th when The Wise Man's Fear comes out.

You haven't even hit the Harry Potter section yet!

I was so glad to see he still goes to school but I suppose he must, if he grows up to be himself. Right now I'm in my head yelling at him that man knows you! He called you by name and you never told him! Why do you think he keeps saying things your dad used to say?! sheesh.
