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."

I'm saddened but not surprised by the Census numbers, and I bet Internet time has something to do with the drop. I know being online takes away from reading time for me, anyhow...
But the thought of all those homes without books makes me incredibly sad.

I finally weeded out the college reading (the stuff I knew I would never read again) last year, because it had been 5+ years since I'd touched it. Also, I needed the space. Now, I need the space again, but I know my books and am not ready to give any more up. Sadly, those of you who have seen my apartment know there's really noplace to put another bookcase. So I am doubling up in earnest.
(Except, I need a location schedule so that I can quickly find what's in the behind row. Or rotate regularly.)
The other option is replacing the Elderly Tippy Bookcases of Doom entirely, and finding shelving that is even taller (and less tippy). Or colonizing my flatmate's bookcase.

And PC wins today's "Flirting with Disaster" award. I suppose I should check in on Lightbulbs and see how it's going.

That's truly a novel idea.

That's a downright villanellous pun.

Do you think I have to run for cover?

Well, I doubt there will be any binding action against you.

Could someone do a quick summary of Lightbulbs? I tried to read it today and couldn't tell if there were more "yeas" or "nays".

It's hard to gague trends from Lightbulbs, because yhou can't tell who's lurking and thinking and who's talking.
