Wasn't he the first captain of the Enterprise?
Yes.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thanks to the recs here (Deb for sure, and some others) I picked up an old used paperback copy of We Have Always Lived In The Castle. Really liking it so far, plus it's got a cool cover.
I also bought (for JZ) a '20 era hardback of Anatole France's The Revolt of The Angels because it was such a cool edition with spiff interior illos and full plates.
Does anyobdy read Anatole France? I've always been curious about him.

I've never read Infamous Army, but really liked Regency Buck. However, my favorite Heyer is probably always going to be These Old Shades.
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.
How's the rest of the book? I'm on my never-ending quest for vampire novels that aren't dreadful.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
That's the edition I have, David! The cover creeps me out.
An Infamous Army is very loosely related to These Old Shades: the heroine is either Leonie and Avon's granddaughter, or Vidal and Mary's, I forget which.

Art Crawl!!!
Is Single White Vampire the one where the vampire has this incredible shoe collection which her evil family disperses upon her death? They bury her in her dowdiest outfit? Is it that one? Because I want to know! I want to read that book.

I love These Old Shades, too, though The Grand Sophy is my favorite Heyer. I haven't read An Infamous Army yet, but I can highly recommend The Spanish Bride.

I recommend Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire series. It's young-adult, so you might find some of it dreadful, but it integrates vampire mythology with Hindu mythology, which is just fucking cool.

Jilli, have you read Jon Merz's vampire series? They're not dreadful. They aren't particularly spooky or supernatural, either, sort of vampires with a mafia feel.
I just read Laura Kinsale's newest. It's got to be the best written porn I've ever encountered. The plot was pretty good too.

Hmm? I haven't read them. I'll try and track them down.
