Yep. I liked it, although it renewed my desire to never live in Sweden.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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."

Kat, I'm just reading it now, I like it. The drawback is I have trouble putting it away if I read at lunch which makes the boss peeved when I'm late getting back to the office.

I'm really enjoying it! Very page turning.

It is that. I haven't enjoyed a traditional mystery that much for quite a while.

I enjoyed it, though was glad that it looks like the next book is about the girl character rather than the journalist guy. I picked it up in an airport the other week when I ran out of books. I didn't understand the whole reveal on the bible verses and how they were named, though. Can anyone explain that? I'd never heard the books referred to like that.

I just love the idea that Trollope is #1.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've read Midnight's Children and Persepolis. I have been planning to read Frankenstein. There are some on that list that I've been vaguely interested in. Most, I think, I've never even heard of.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oooh, that is an interesting list.

I've only read Persepolis, Frankenstein, and Things Fall Apart.
I'm now thinking I want to read The Dark is Rising.
