'Just Rewards (2)'
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."
Can I say that I love how it always comes back to Christopher Pike?
Hee hee. Glad to see another Pike fan.
Doesn't another Pike book have a character actually mentioning Fall into Darkness, as well?
Hm, I don't remember that one. But I haven't read the books in years. I just read Remember Me again, which is why that one stuck out.
Another one is how Tolkien's The Two Towers has some cameos by characters in The Fellowship of the Ring.
OK, now I know I'm messing up my titles, but I think the girl in Fall Into Darkness (as long as thats the one where the girl went over the cliff) referenced the one where the girl faked her death on the boat.
White-fonted in case someone is still making their way through the opus-es (what is the plural for opus? Opi?) of Christopher Pike. You never know.

Also? The Hobbit. One might think these books are all related or something.
(BWAH!)

So you're saying they have a...connection?
Are you all very stoned?
And one odd, glancing mention in Peter Straub's Floating Dragon, of one of the characters from Ghost Story.
Straub also tied a bunch of characters together in the "blue rose" novels (and I think there was a novella there that I haven't read yet). It wasn't a series per se, but knowing who was who definitely added resonance.
Jess made me snort.
bookclub selection for the month is Vinegar Hill.
Balzac also did that a hell of a lot (have characters appearing across multiple books, that is).
Jess made me snort.
woo hoo!
