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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'd like to point out that my Scout story was meant to reflect on my idiocy as a ninth grade English student and not on the merits of the book in general.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Jilli, it occurs to me I have a spare Candide floating around somewhere. Well, I think it's spare. It's my copy. I may still have Dad's in my shelves. Regardless, I'll bring it with me tomorrow.

"Grapes of Wrath" My God, I am a lefty cliche. But not as much as this one: "Catcher in The Rye" Sue me. You won't get much...

I wanted adventures, but I think that's another collection.
A Little More About Me can be a little less about the relationships (though she uses adventure as a metaphore for exploring relationships) and it has more essays that were originally assignments for travel mags. You might like it better.
All the stories in Waltzing the Cat are about the same character. Though they are still individual stories.
Also, in Cowboys, it was one of the first collection of short stories where I noticed that the arrangement of the stories themselves had a narrative arc.
I t heart Pam Houston.

(No really, I'm *trying* to get out of my "All Vampires, All The Time!" phase. It's just sort of my default setting.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Does anyone have an interest in a list of poetry recommendations? I'd be happy to do it but only if it would be useful.
Always. I've got a smattering of almost every era (including 19th-century porny Chinese ones), but I'm far from edumcated in the area.

You know, I should probably try to re-read that now that it isn't being shoved down my throat in an American Lit. class. At the time, I hated it. Hate, hate, hate.
Treasure Island is a classic? Huh. I have read a lot of the classic Kid Lit, but always forget that they ARE considered Classics.
