I attempted to read those, but I didn't get it.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hec and I were talking about that series the other day -- neither of us has read them, but we've both heard numerous people say that they loved The Golden Compass but felt like Pullman trainwrecked the series somewhere from the middle of the second book to pretty much anywhere in the third. And then we wandered to Laurell K. Hamilton's books and the Kushiel books and the Ender books and all the various series in our different TBR piles, and how someone really should compile a big master list of Exactly How Far You Should Read In Each Series, Because After Book [Whatever] The Author Drives It Right Over A Cliff.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm ready to come out too!
My name is Trudy and my eyes glazed over reading Tolkien.

Now that the thread is a touch quieter - is anyone available to look at my resume?

Oh, shit. I'm an idiot.
PCP gave me two new meds today (well, one is actually a higher dose of something I already take). Well, I took them about an hour ago, forgetting that one of them isn't supposed to be taken within five hours of my night meds, because they don't play well together. And I was going to try to go to sleep earlier tonight so I could actually get some writing done tomorrow. Grrrrrrr...
Would whoever stole my brain please return it? You really don't want it. Trust me.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Love the first two and a half His Dark Materials books (also, how cool is that title????). I didn't care for the ultimate end.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
JZ, FWIW I don't think the Kushiel series has jumped the shark yet, though the first book of the second trilogy is the weakest to date.
As for Laurel K. Hamilton, I gave up on her ages ago, but I'm always amused by the regular sputtering indignation of those who wish they could quit her, but can't quite bring themselves to do so.

O_A speaks words of wisdom, and you people who find Tolkien dull are ded to me. DED!
Must find copies of LotR in house. Will memorize In Moria, in Khazad-Dun this time. We will, my precious, we will.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
is DED to connie. is sad.
It has been quite interesting following the discussions here; funereal, religion, fantasy books I could never quite get into...
I so do not want to work tomorrow. I'd rather read books! Also, I need to find the Christmas Cheer for my eggnog.
