Buffistas

Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Closed Threads

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Stephanie, there are so many options I wouldn't know where to start. What kind of books do you like to read? If I had a Kindle I would probably use it to read The New York Times as well as books.

vw, I'm sorry you didn't sleep. I was sleep challenged again too. Good luck staying awake today.

Trust my rage

Yeah I'm mostly thnking about recent stuff. It seems like we talk a lot of books here but of course I remember nothing now.

Because books.

It's hard to rec when I'm not sure what kinds of books you like, Stephanie. I'm reading Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghost right now and LOVING it -- it's short stories, and it's not all horror, it's more a combination of horror and fantastic fiction, and every story so far has just been fabulous. A couple of them really melancholy, rather than scary, and very sharply written.

Or you could give Coraline or The Graveyard Book a try, and get on the Neil Gaiman train.

For not-horror, not-genre, I'd also recommend The Time-Traveler's Wife, and I think you'd also like Jodi Picoult -- a couple of her books have protagonists that are either lawyers or the plot has something to do with the law. Sort of thinky women's fiction. I loved Plain Truth and My Sister's Keeper (although the last made me sob).

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I'd second (well, third) The Time Traveller's Wife, and I'd also rec Cloud Atlas and The End of Mr Y. And Lost in a Good Book.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Windsparrow and I finally bought and read Rock and Roll Never Forgets by some woman named Deborah Grabien. It was pretty good.

Now I get to go to the office and wear shirt and tie for the dog and pony show for our biggest corporate customers.

I am off to staffing services to talk about potential positions for me at the institute. Hope that goes well... I'm wearing a suit and mascara and everything!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Damn, I forgot the mascara.

Damn, I forgot the mascara.

So did I, Daniel.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Stephanie, I just read Wordy Shipmates and Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell--I highly recommend them both.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I might get myself a Kindle just for environmental reasons.

That's my rationalization, and I'm sticking to it.
