Ahh... I focused on the goblin and the miner thing, and passed by the gardener. It sounds interesting.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

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."

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I haven't read anything by Anne Brontë. Apparently I should rectify this ASAP.
That was awesome. I don't think it was fair on Emily & Charlotte, mind, 'cause I don't think they are just Twilightfangirl about Mr Rochester or Heathcliff, but - yeah. Point.
But you should totally read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I was astonished by how modern it was in its sensibility. It's regarded as one of the first feminist novels, apparently - which, yeah, that was my take on it too. Its female protagonist has no truck with men of Heathcliff's ilk.

Because books.

I keep meaning to read that. I've seen one of the Masterpiece Theater productions, and I was really intrigued by the story. Very different sensibility than her sisters.

wrod....what she said.(But their brother kind of was one, wasn't he? In a 'get high and brood' sort of way.) I only read it because I took a Bronte course, and, yes, I think all three Brontes would be rather horrified by the conclusions that Meyer, in particular, took from their work...I think that was not what any of them intended.

Hey, Holmes fans. Did Irene Adler marry Godfrey Norton in A Scandal in Bohemia? Is that canon?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If that's the guy's name, yeah. They definitely get married.
