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."

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
She better not mess with Antryg, that's all I'm saying.
Damn straight. Joanna's probably running her own business so that there's enough time to haul him to the ocean and the desert, and every so often she goes out to the shooting ranges and goes through a box of ammo, just to keep her edge.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Ahhh, twelve bucks a year for all the books you can read
Your library has a yearly fee? I'm appalled (to a ridiculously disproportionate extent). Wow. I thought subscription fees for libraries went out with the nineteenth century. Is this common in the US?
On re-think, the libraries in Scotland only let you check out three books at once (a truly hideous crime), so I guess different countries just do these things differently. Not that my library's approach isn't the one true way, because that's just obvious.

So did I. I thought it was entertaining, even if Raye's constant talking about what she bakes made me overwhelmingly hungry.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Ouise, a lot of the libraries in the US these days are down to the bare bone in financing. I'm actually awaiting more libraries going sub; I check the numbers on "Weaver" across the US on a monthly basis, and if you want disheartening, check out something like the Pennsylvania library home pages, where the first thing one sees is "Updates on newest budget cuts and how this will affect your library" notices.

That is truly disheartening, Deb.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
When I get big, I'm gonna sponsor a liberry and give them all the money they want.

Re: "Sunshine" - I took all the verbiage about baking as the author's method for grounding the character in the mundane, to remind us that she was a regular person before the fantastical events of the story, and also to point out that humanity was not something she shared with Con. Plus, I really wanted a share of all the desserts Rae made.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
Yeah, I don't fret too much if I'm running late returning a book, 'cause I don't really mind paying the fee. Not that the fee is going to help funding much. And it's not too nice to my fellow library users.

If I only had a brain...
I took all the verbiage about baking as the author's method for grounding the character in the mundane,
Yeah, but I never really believed the character was a professional baker, based on the things she said. I have Baking Issues.
