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."
I've been writing little short bios for the HiLo website.
You can see my encomiums to Donovan and Denver Pyle here; and my valentines to Chester Brown, Eno and Yvonne Craig here.
Bonus bios by other writers: L. Frank Baum, Jonathan Richman, Kate Hepburn, Edward Lear.

Neil Gaiman has some advice for readers who have entitlement issues
That's great.
From Sue's link in Movies, Top Ten Rascals in literature (a provisional list).
Is Scout Finch really a "rascal"?
I'm not too sure Oliver Twist fits my idea of one either.
Is Scout Finch really a "rascal"?
Fair question. She does into scrapes.
Her various schoolyard fights. And don't forget that she's just too young to understand when to be discreet and/or polite (telling that one boy that putting maple syrup on his food was wrong, calling Dill out on his fibs about his father).
See, rascal to me implies a certain level of...not quite malevolent intent, but intent to get away with something. I think of Scout's fights as defending her or her families honor.
Similarly, Oliver's just doing what he thinks is right under the circumstances he finds himself in. The Artful Dodger is a rascal, but I don't think Oliver is.

Rascal = Bart Simpson.
Bugs Bunny is quite wascally, so I hear.
