Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

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."

If I only had a brain...

Oh, thank you, java cat. That means a lot.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well, Betsy, she's right.

Also: Anne W. 's Neverwhere DVDs are going back to her shortly, unless someone wants to take her up on her offer of loan. Email her at her profile addy if you'd like them next.

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

Well, Betsy, she's right.

Haven't read the book, so I can't make that comparison.

I can, however, say flat out that Betsy does this better than damned enar anyone out there, and ought to have her own column.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just started reading A Gracious Plenty by Shari Reynolds for bookclub. I think this will be the third book we have read in about 12 months that has voices of the dead as part of the narrative. I am liking it so far.

I also just bought from my faboo street guy (who is finally back after the long winter hiatus) - an older version (1930) than what I have of Nancy Drew #1, The Secret of the Old Clock, bonus, it has the dustjacket. Also, Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, which I have never even heard of, but it is a Newbery, so I figured it would be good to have in the YA library.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Here is a nice little reading list .

I read Bet Me, by Jennifer Crusie, on Saturday, and it's wonderful. It reads like a smart screwball comedy. Also, I was tickled that at the very, very end, a black lab-mix dog nicknamed The Beast makes a very brief appearance.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Java, is that her newest one?

Always Anti-fascist!

Yay...I'm reading "Crazy for you" and it's kind of weirding me out.

Java, is that her newest one?

Yup.

Yeah, the guy in Crazy for You is so creepy-real.

I really didn't like Crazy for You, mostly because of the creepiness factor.
