I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

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."

sj, she's got 72 hits on Amazon. Did you maybe misspell her name?

I copied and pasted from what was posted here. I found her on Amazon.co.uk, but not regular amazon.

Hambly on Amazon

(Really, if this works, going to bed now. Ice cream has been eaten, coffee's almost gone.)

Thanks, Deena. Maybe amazon was having trouble when I was trying earlier. Sleep well.

I like most of Barbara Hambly's work.

Sleep is good. Nighty-night everyone.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

Thanks to whomsoever recommended George Pelecanos (Jesse, I think?). I found Right as Rain at the library & really enjoyed it. So refreshing to read a book in which race is actually acknowledged as important. It would make a great buddy flick - wonder if it's been optioned already - Richard Roundtree would be perfect to play Strange.

I did find it annoying to read how somebody "ignitioned" a car. Dude, "started" works just fine.

Love, love, love Devil's Cub. Still have not managed to find a copy of These Old Shades, though.

I don't wanna work,
I wanna read Harry Potter all day.

I finally finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and am now almost half way though Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I'm glad that I'm finally getting them read since they have been taunting me from the bookshelf for ages now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo! I'm kind of obsessed with Pelecanos. Check out his older stuff, too.

Yeah, he's got a couple of quirks like that. There are some storyline things that I noticed in reading two of the Strange/Quinn books back-to-back, too.

When writing about vampires, "re-thinking" the standard mythology so they can go out in sunlight, don't have to drink blood, and can eat cheeseburgers means you are no longer writing about vampires. If the only twist on vampire tropes you can think of is to remove all the standard weaknesses, you are not a good writer, you are a power-gamer.

Why yes, I spent part of last night reading descriptions on Amazon. Feh. And bah.
