happy to oblige. I like taking my tags off the board
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

The longer I stay awake tonight, the more time I have before tomorrow begins.
You find some good stuff when you clean out your house. Like this note from someone I gave a book to for Christmas:
"Thank you so much for introducing us to The Weaver and the Factory Maid. M-- and I have both read it and enjoyed it immensely."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Picked up Comfort Me With Apples, yesterday, determined to read at least one chapter for my book group, and couldn't put it down until I finished it. Ruth Riechl is now the editor of Gourmet, but she was a chef, then food critic in Berkeley, then LA. I loved the local details, her writing about food is sublime, and the snippets of her personal and family life were entrancing and heartbreaking.
Also, I kept thinking, Betsy is this good, too.

Heh.
Thanks for the tip, JC. And I got your note. I'm glad it went well and I'm sorry I missed the cake & everything.
Will call later.

I like Danny Kaye better anyway. Mmm, The Court Jester.
Taken from minearverse, but Danny Kaye is IN Comfort Me with Apples. He was a great chef, and became friends with RR.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Thanks to whoever mentioned Dennis Lehane. His work should help me get through till new-to-me Homicide comes out...I stayed up too late last night reading (memfault) Island.I'll tell myself I won't again, but probably. Just, damn. Nice echoes of Bayliss-in-pain, imo.Not the same pain, but the same feel, if you get me.And I don't(quite) mean porn.

Shutter Island, Erika? I liked that one, although I was a bit thrown by people using the phrase "anger management" in, what was it, the 1950s?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
That's true...that's not quite right.You'd think it wouldn't be hard to find out what terminology was in vogue.But the ending threw me, and I flatter myself I'm good at that. And he writes like a dream...a scary, upsetting dream, but hey...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I just read Lehane's Gone, Baby, Gone a couple of weeks ago. The man ripped my heart out in the last couple of chapters. I was deeply impressed. I won't be reading another one of his books for a little while, until the first one settles. But it was a good mystery.
