Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

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

Erin, you think *you* were startled? The book's not a romance, goddamnit. There's a love story, but that cover....

Thing is, that damned thing sold 75,000 copies. It was up at the checkout counter at Safeway. SOMEONE must have liked that cover.

Peoples is weird.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Well, by the time I got to it, it's been read so many time that Pink Sonia fell out into my hands.

So there's that, at least.

(snickering at the thought of the Fall of Pink Sonia)

Sorry to say, I gave her back to the library so they could rebind. I'm overcome with remorse.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Unfortunately, I couldn't find I link to the lyrics of "There's a bimbo..." online, and I'd rather not post someone else's lyrics without their permission.

Sorry about that.

You are not.

You're right.

I'm a lying Bitch.

SO not overcome. MAYBE a eensy regretful.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't think you can ever overcome, but maybe that's just me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just went to a book reading/discussion/signing with George Pelecanos and Ian Rankin. It kicked ass. Rankin didn't read, he just told funny stories (he recently moved two doors down from Alexander McColl Smith, and around the corner from JK Rowling). I continue to be in love with Pelecanos, and was a little disappointed that he didn't seem to have that many fans there. Enough, I guess, but I decided not to buy the Rankin book when I saw the long line to get them signed by him, while poor George was not busy. Ah well.

They took questions, which was pretty interesting, hearing stuff about the Process and whatnot. There will be more TV shows of Rebus, but not with John Hannah, FYI.
