'Heart Of Gold'
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 should I buy from BN.com today? OBVIOUSLY I'm buying Jilli's book, but if I spend $25 they'll courier it to my office FOR FREE.
What hard SF/space opera thingy should I be reading but aren't? Does Alastair Reynolds have any books out I haven't read?
Have you read Th1rt3en?
I just read The Mysterious Benedict Society. If you like The Westing Game you will like this. It's probably targeted at 5th graders or so, so even though it's chunky it's a quick read.
Have you read Th1rt3en?
Yes - I liked the worldbuildling more than the story.
the story of King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson.
Her autobiography is entitled The Heart Has Its Reasons, so if you want to read her side of it you can check it out.

I agree. I'm fresh out of sci-fi/space opera stuff tho. Still slogging thru Perdido Street Station (which isn't space opera), and missing early Bujold.
I went with Daemon [link] - I was going to wait until it came out in paperback, but hey, free shipping!

Mieville is not a quick, easy read, no. But that book is pretty awesome, even if it leaves you feeling really dirty. We get it, dude, New Crobuzón is REALLY STANK.

Ooh, a friend of mine reviewed that a while ago and interviewed the author. It sounds really cool.
They've made a game based on Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth. Does that sort of thing happen often?
Only if you're Stephenie Meyer
Heh.
