Right on! My therapist will be so proud.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, msbelle's pretty normal, all told.

Herding cats for fun
Yo Lilty, I read Into the Forest. I'd be happy to discuss it with you, except I found out you didn't much like Emily of New Moon, alas. I liked that character because I thought she expressed the frustration of the writer's self trammeled in with the gender restrictions imposed in her day.
Did you ever read The Story Girl? That was a goody, too.

Like I need a hole in my head
I just skipped and skipped and skipped, but would like to chime in with a fondness for Thomas Hardy, and Charles Dickens. But someone needs to tell me why they loved Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter, so I will be inspired to read it again and love it.
And hi everyone!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
But someone needs to tell me why they loved Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter, so I will be inspired to read it again and love it.
Because it lead to the Grade 11 3rd Period IB SL History Class to challenge the Grade 11 1st Period IB SL History Class to a food drive, the losing class doomed to wear Scarlet L's on their chest for a day?
And because my class won, so I spent a goodly portion of a week creating lovely, delicate L's out of tin foil and red construction paper?
That's a very personal reason, having nothing to do with the text, I fear. But it's the best I can come up with. Though I recall liking Young Goodman Brown.

Well, thanks for trying, though. Maybe you can tell me why you "Nightwing" instead? Tee hee!

Ha!
Err. That's one of the things that takes a long time to answer. Pete made the mistake of asking me at coffee once who I liked better, Batman or Nightwing, and got about 15 minutes of explanation about what I got from each storyline instead of the simple answer he was aiming for.
Besides, it's all tied into why I'm finding that getting my narrative fix from comics works better for me than anything else these days.

Up with the sun
I saw the filmed version of "Jude" with Kate Winslet. At the end of it, I was swearing to never have sex again, never even think about having children, and especially never, ever, ever, to cast so much as a second glance at a cousin. (Not that this was a major problem in my particular family, since I have no cousins I see more than every five years anyhow, but it's still a useful concept to remember.)
OTOH, I quite liked Tess of the D'Ubervilles, even if I did spend large chunks of the book wanting to grab both Tess and Angel by their shoulders and shake them HARD.
