I have absolutely no horse in this race, but this:
Well, not to re-open another patented Buffista neverending argument, but...ah, what the hell.
May just be the ultimate Buffista sentence.
Early: You folks are all insane. Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought Susan was punished because she liked cilantro.

And yes, this comes from a girl who was OMGWTFBBQ obsessed with fantasy forever.
And I'm on the other side - I love Tolkien to pieces but find most other fantasy writers dull as dishwater (yes, sorry, including CS Lewis). I've tried rereading other fantasy novels I enjoyed as a child and teenager, and Tolkien's the only one I can still enjoy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray for being unlaid off! And for good phone interviews!
I know I read the Narnia books, but I don't remember them at all. Weird.

It's funny you bring up Mere Christianity, megan. Fred Clark, over on his slacktivist blog frequently harps on Lewis for Mere Christianity because of his failure to understand why it might not be as "obvious" to other people as it is to Lewis. Clark much prefers Lewis' A Grief Observed, written after the death of his wife, when Lewis realized "Oh! Holy crap! Grief, suffering, and other kinds of pain and misfortune are real, and can cause doubt, and questioning one's faith, and other things like that!"

KT, I've been having itchy issues too. After countless nights, I realized it was mostly concentrated in high clothes-skin contact zone (waist, sock zone, and shoulders blades). Since doing laundry at laundromat #1 (closer to work), the itching has gone down a LOT. And I wonder, does laundromat #2 (near home) not rinse enough?
Maybe your using too much soap??? Or maybe try an extra rinse cycle? What I'm saying is, the lil bumps might not be bug bites, but skin irritations. Just a theory. YRMV

(I bring up the slacktivist blog because it's a blog from a Christian perspective, and Susan turned me on to it)
Jess, you should strongly consider giving George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series a try (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, and A Feast for Crows, plus a couple more books yet to come). A number of people I know, who pretty much detest all fantasy novels love these books. They may turn out to not be to your liking, but I think you might like them, and they are worth a shot, I think.

What I'm saying is, the lil bumps might not be bug bites, but skin irritations.Definitely not little bumps. Big bug-bite-sized bumps. It could be in part a reaction to an itchy wool sweater I wore a few days ago, but you would think I would have gotten them in more than one area, in that case. Annnyway...enough of that.
I'm outta here. Time to hit Panera and get some serious grading done. Chase me out of here if I show up before I've graded at least 10 more essays, okay?

Hmmm - I'm generally suspicious of books with the word "swords" in the title, but I will bookmark your post and check them out if I ever get near the bottom of my TBR pile. (Which is at the moment about 80% scifi and 20% nonfiction. Oh, and the latest Powers.)
