Not bloody likely :)
I didn't say she could out-Vortex Vortex. That's not even possible.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Is it a children's book, Deb? Hmm?
Oh dear God, tell me they aren't making that mistake. Please? Because I don't want a bunch of fundie mommies chasing me with meat-axes, OK?
It is very definitively NOT a children's book. Nor is Kent Haruf's book of the same title, which is a big sprawly beach blanket read about a family who lives on the Great Plains.
Erin, please make them correct it. Please? I beg of you?

Ooh, I'm actually reading that Le Guin translation (or was, before RotK ate my brain). It's very good. There's not much plot to the individual stories, but the setting is fantastic. Good bedtime reading.

move out and draw fire
Faulkner Fox is a cool name.
I'm trying to find books we know and love in translation, to practice reading in other languages. Any idea how to harness the power of the Internet to do this? Often when I'm travelling I will pick up The Hobbit in Spanish, or Dune in Romanian, etc. But I'd like to find books in Greek this year, before we go to Greece. Children's books would be best. (In fact, The Hobbit would be great.)
I've found Cat in the Hat, Winnie the Pooh, and Harry Potter in Latin, but no luck with modern Greek.

So Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is being turned into a two-play production at the British National Theatre. And the British Christian community is upset.
I shudder to think of what would happen in the instance of a federally-funded production in the US. Mapplethorpe comes to mind. Again.

I'm afraid that all the "gasp how dare you we're so threatened bad! bad!" crap from the High and Mighty is doing is making me yearn to see the stage show.

Weren't there rumors a little while ago about New Line doing a three movie-thingy with His Dark Materials?
