It is that. I haven't enjoyed a traditional mystery that much for quite a while.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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."

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.

Newsweek -- 50 books you should read now
way more interesting than most book list. Though there are some I will never read.

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.

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.

Midnight's Children is pretty great, megan. I highly recommend it.
People have told me to read The Dark Is Rising.

I loved Midnight's Children. And The Dark Is Rising great, but read Over Sea, Under Stone first to understand the whole set up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hell, read all 5. They're short.
