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."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
May I use this as a tag, Heather? I'll include the 10Comm ref if you want to make sure that people don't start thinking you're making offers you don't intend.
You may use it however you wish connie.
I am going to curl up with my college lit books right now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
That's where I got my name.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Not Micole, but for Sean Stewart I would recommend The Night Watch first of all. Lovely, melancholy story about art and how it survives. Plus Vancouver transformed by magic is one of my favourite settings ever.
You can read excerpts from his novels on his website, Jess - that might help you pick one to start with.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
One of my favorite poems is Hardy's The Ruined (Can't remember if it's maid or lady right now). I think of it everytime I go back to Shreveport.
ETA- I should put together an anthology with stuff like that and Shakespeare's "'Tis better to be vile than vile esteem'd" sonnet.

Batman: "What are you doing tonight?"
Babs: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky."
Batman: "Wha?"
Babs: "Never mind."
Oh my god, that is the best Bat-exchange ever.
Crap, now I gotta start getting animated Batman dvds, too...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh my god, that is the best Bat-exchange ever.
Babs' line reading was particularly good there, too.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Which titles do you recommend?
Galveston, especially. (Basically, everything except Cloud's End, but especially Galveston.)

New tag! New tag!
The Batman-Babs exchange was lovely, I just happened to catch it on TV and blinked several times. Bats' extreme cluelessness and Babs' pleasure in that was wonderful.
Many moons ago, the Animaniacs were doing Russian history. In a segment on Rasputin, they've got him tied to a dentist's chair. Wakko: "And now we administer a little Anastasia!" Cue the girl in the ball gown with a mallet. Yakko: "It's a pun. Ask your folks."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Cartoons were so much better ten years ago.
