And the guy in the trunk wondering what that noise is that's getting louder.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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'm pretty sure Hec has)?
Yup. I'm still not quite recovered from seeing Vincent in a giant afro wig playing a flaming hairdresser.
Psst! It's on YouTube in four parts.

I think Robert Morley being fed his own poodles is the part that did me in. As a long time "punting" dog hater, I'm afraid I enjoyed that scene a little too much.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm reading Patricia Briggs' "Hunting Ground"; it's set in Seattle and guess where the hero and heroine stayed? Yup - the Monaco!

There's a new Skulduggery Pleasant book out, and it is REALLY good. Holy crap.

Ohh Steph that is good to hear. I just picked it up yesterday. I got my non-reading 13-year-old to read the first one and he loved it. He's just starting Playing With Fire so we'll see how it goes. I know what I'm doing for part of this weekend.. reading The Faceless Ones whee!

Holy crap. That's all I can say. I'm really surprised at what the author did, though in retrospect I can see where he's been building to Something Big.
I guess I thought that a "kids' book" (the flap says ages 8-12, and I'm not sure I'd let an 8- or 9-year-old read this) wouldn't make me go Holy crap!, but then I remember Harry Potter, et al., and it's a brave new world in kids' books.
Holy. Crap.
