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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

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.

So Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is being turned into a two-play production at the British National Theatre.

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

Lead review, Sunday paper, and a rave, but David Fusilli, no less.

I am a happy, happy woman.

Did anyone get any books for christmas? I got a lot of buffy related books like "Slayer Slang" and "BTVS and Philosophy". My sister also got me "The Wisdom of War" by Christopher Golden.

I fear future Christmases will not be so buffy plentiful.

Another social casualty...

I got Mirrorr, Mirror Gregory Maguire's ( Wicked ) new one. I also got all four Buffy S2 script books. I also got the DVD of Gaiman's Neverwhere.

I'm looking forward to reading and watching as soon as my head clears from my Christmas flu/cold/bug/thing.

I saw this for the first time in a store before christmas and was sooo tempted to buy it for myself. Hopefully I can find it again now that I have christmas money to spend.

Swouncing

Her dialogue, though bursting with arcane references and local colloquialisms, allows the characters to shine through: The banter Laine and his Penny toss about is particularly priceless. And she builds the kind of sophisticated suspense that surrounds and embraces us to make our minds spin and the hair on the back of our neck rise in this enchanted tale.

Oh, that's just lovely. Not the least because it's true. Congratulations, Deb!
