I'd feel remiss if I didn't mention in this thread that I am currently reading Moby Dick.
Yay! It's such a great book. (After he finished it, Melville wrote Hawthorne, "I have written a wicked book, and feel spotless as the lamb.")
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
(After he finished it, Melville wrote Hawthorne, "I have written a wicked book, and feel spotless as the lamb.")
That quote was the basis of the poet Charles Olson's lengthy study of Moby Dick, attributing a gnostic interpretation to Melville, with the whale as the demiurge.

Proving only that Moby Dick can be all things to all people.

Not appropos, but Patrick Neilsen Hayden over at making light was given an excuse to make one of the all time great geek puns.
Actually that suggests an input for this game: [link]
Not anything special. The making light pun is much funnier. [link]

Same wrong thread as Laga - but you know fits here a little because - editor humor.

I'm currently reading the first Dexter book. I haven't seen the TV series yet, but I'm loving the book.
