You know, whenever the whole "I don't find X attractive" conversations come up, and people always say, "Hey, fine, more for me?" I'm always on the "more for me" side.
Is that bad?
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mostly it means you're EASY.
I finally read Bet Me, and now I'm all awwwww and mushy
Hee. That's just the buzz I got.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I especially loved that she gave us a "where are they now?" kind of epilogue. Awwwwww.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I bought a few books off the street the other day and meant to post about them here. One is a 1960 cheap paperback fairly pulpy looking "Assault on a Queen" by Jack Finney. I fully admit to buying it for looks only - it appears to be big ships crime adventure.
The other three books I got are by Carolyn Wells. They are 1913 & 1017 printings of part of the Patty Series. "Patty Fairfield", "Patty's Friends", and "Patty Blossom". Anyone ever heard of them?

And there was no small dog! The sausage dogs were bothering me.
The one with the forgery is my favourite, though.

Because it kicks ass. But I loved the friends in Bet Me. AND they all had jobs! Like, regular-people jobs, mostly.

I have read three books in the last three days
The burglar on the prowl love funny lawrence block
Single White Vampire With one of the funniest sex scenes ever. and a very interesting explanation of what vampires truely are and why they can get it up.
and a bookk I just stumbled across at one of those temporary warhouse books sale remainder places ( market st between powell and montgomry bart for the SF people out there)
A little help from above. Long dead Jewish mom tries to straighten out her family. light fun with some serious issues - DES
Somethig about reading three books in three days makes me feel like things are normal. Even though my house is a mess and I've been sick things feel more balanced than those weeks when I am so busy I am lucky if I read a chapter before bed.

move out and draw fire
I dreamt last night that the next Harry Potter book came out today, and I got it and read it in a couple hours, because it was the size of the first book. And that it was wonderful and light and surprising, like the first book, and that the story was tight and funny and sad, and all-in-all a wonderful experience.
Which will probably not be the case for the hypothetical next book in the series, as I'm betting it will compete with my Illustrated Encyclopedic Masonic Bible for Biggest Bookshelf Space Hog award.

I know exactly what you mean.

Hey. New board.
Which will probably not be the case for the hypothetical next book in the series, as I'm betting it will compete with my Illustrated Encyclopedic Masonic Bible for Biggest Bookshelf Space Hog award.
And, normally, that might bother me. But I loved the fourth and fifth books so much more than any of the first three that I just can't bring myself to care.
