I don't know who Rothfuss is
He is the author of The Name of the Wind, which is awesome.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
P-C, you stop pimping books to me! I'm still waiting on the library for 4 & 5 of Scott Pilgrim, and then I still need to read 100 Bullets.
Big pimp.
Not to mention (unrelated to P-C pimpage) that I just got Anathem from the library, and while I can't wait to get into it, I admit the size of it cowed me for a minute.
Just finished Peeps last night, which I thought was clever and fun.
All the books I've read recently have had similar themes running through them, though I didn't pick them on purpose. It's an eerie synchronicity.

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

Ooooooooooooh! I've been wanting to reread this, but it's a pretty big time committment. I may make it my Canada book this year.

Sorry! (Not actually sorry.)
Big pimp.

Because books.
I read WIFEY when I was twelve.
I vividly remember a bunch of passing around Forever in fourth grade.

Oh god, it all makes sense now ...

“Not dead yet!”
Oh god, it all makes sense now ...
But... but... what about me? WIFEY totally trumps FOREVER in terms of the smut factor.
Was I impervious?
I feel like such a failure.
