Kate Beaton on the recent Austen re-visionings. Golly, I love Hark, A Vagrant!
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

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."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I really like the Jane Austen mystery series by Stephanie Barron, but it started before this craze really took off.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, I've read one of those, and I agree it was perfectly enjoyable.

“Not dead yet!”
According to Variety, neither really:
There are 16 Scarpetta novels, meaning a franchise is hoped for, but this film won't be tied to a specific Cornwell mystery title. Much the way that Jason Bourne morphed into an action hero in plots not rigidly locked into the Robert Ludlum book series, the opera-loving coroner Scarpetta will be the lead in a suspense thriller in the vein of "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Seven."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just got this request from someone we all know:
I have a question for you. I need to submit a list of authors I would like us to go after as hot prospects to write the books for our BSG prequel, Caprica. Do you have a sense of who the up-and-comers are in the sci fi novel world? I'd love any trail you can put me onto!
Any names I can send her way? They need to be published sci fi authors, but can be on the new side.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Jacob!
Ha, that would be a hoot.
