Faith ,'Get It Done'
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."
Like the senseless crackhead I am, I'm reading Anne Rice's Blood Canticle, because even though the writing is utterly execrable, I need to know what happens to the characters.
And when I say execrable, I mean it. The entire first chapter is Rice herself, using the thinly veiled excuse of Lestat speaking in first person, basically RANTING at her readership for not liking previous books. And I am not even remotely kidding. She needs to SO get over herself.
Yes, Micole, you are right - they weren't translated at all, and I've never seen any of her books in English anywhere here.
Thanks for posting that list. I hope I'll get to use it soon, somewhere.
DH read Blood Canticle. I think he was ashamed. At least he only reads her books from the library now.
Oh, I'm ashamed, believe me. And you bet I got it from the library.
ita, that sounds interesting. I'll have to request it from the library.
I've read most of the books by Joan Aiken. That's saddening.
Anne, babe, get over yourself. You're like a literary dancing bear anyway...we put the money in, wind you up, and off you go...pages and pages of the same thing. Put down the crack pipe and the absinthe glass, ok, babe?
That took me a minute. I was wondering why you'd be so rude to our Anne and if you'd just deep-sixed any chance she'd ever knit you anything.
Yes, I'm very slow today.
Most of the Aiken bibliographies online seem to focus on either the children's books or the romances/mysteries/Gothics, but not both. How frustrating. This one looks relatively complete. Huh. Too complete. Lists some alternate titles as an entirely separate books.
I haven't read The Whispering Mountain, but I'm told it runs in parallel with the first three or four Wolves books.
I got my financial aid money today, and am visiting my folks this weekend.
Why, isn't that just the PERFECT time to buy Deb's book and read it?!
Fina-fucking-ly.

me too.
