erika-- your guy David's going to be speaking tomorrow in NYC on the post boom culture novel.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Has anyone else read La Perdida by Jessica Abel? Because I really didn't like it and would like my opinion validated by a competent authority.

Polter-Cow, I validate you. From what I remember of the story, the protagonist ventured deeply into Too Stupid To Live territory.

Thank you, Tom. I just couldn't care about anyone or anything, it was all so boring. It was like "Here's a guy and here's a girl and then I pissed him off and then I pissed her off and then I still tried to hang out with them and I am so authentic and awesome and also Mexico is dangerous."

I thought each character was completely unlikeable. Dot' know that I'm a competent authority, but still.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
A friend on LJ just made herself an awesome little icon with a cute knitted monkey in a beret, that reads 'Amazon sales listing surrender singe'.
