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."

If you write 1000 words and Neil Gaiman writes 1000 words, Neil Gaiman has written more than you.
Neil Gaiman's next novel is expected to win the Nebula, the Hugo, and the Heisman Trophy.

I think Jilli's eyes just rolled right out of her head.

Actually I snickered. Because Neil Gaiman is one of the few people Harlan actually likes.
Some authors write in omniscient point of view. Neil Gaiman lives it.
This is my favorite.

Harlan actually likes
The words "Harlan" and "likes" cancel each other out. I have no idea what noise you just made, Jilli, but it doesn't register as language.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Peter David mentioned Harlan Ellison at a DragonCon panel yesterday. He held him up as an example of someone who was clearly not a racist, since he marched with MLK.
I did not say "Have you seen some of what Harlan Ellison has done lately?"

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I was in school, a friend was asked to escort Harlan Ellison around campus. (Don't remember why Ellison was there.) Friend was wondering whether to anticipate by buying a "Harlan Ellison spat on me" T-shirt.

The last time I met Harlan (which was about 10 years ago, admittedly), he was polite to me and singled me out to have my books signed first from the mass of people standing in front of the table.
(I in no way offer this as proof of Harlan being kind or nice, for I am not foolish. I'm sure his treating me well was entirely prompted by the fact that I am a reasonably attractive woman.)
