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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mirror Dance would probably be my favorite of the entire series, if I had to pick. That or Komarr. Or maybe Memory.

I'm hoping for an Ivan-focused one soon.

Ooh, that would be fun.

I like "preternatural" and you never see it.

Except on every other page of Anne Rice's books! At least, such is my memory of them.

and fairly frequently in the Laurell K. Hamilton genre.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was thinking, I must be reading the wrong stuff, because I swear I see "preturnatural" all the freaking time. And I haven't read Rice in ten years, or Hamilton ever.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I like "preternatural" and you never see it.

I mostly associate "preternatural" with the wacky linguistic stylings of the early years of Spy magazine.

I associate "preturnatural" primarily with Anne Rice. I've never read any Hamilton.

If I only had a brain...

I think my favorite is Memory. Cause, man alive, did Miles NEED that.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

My favourite is Memory, as well. Even though (or maybe because?) I find the opening section almost excruciating to read.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I mostly associate "preternatural" with the wacky linguistic stylings of the early years of Spy magazine.

Huh. I think I associate it with Smallville recaps. (Preternaturally pretty.)

Memory is good. But I have a deep fondness for Brothers in Arms as well. Miles is a classic example of a character I love to read about, but couldn't stand to be around extensively in real life. His cousin Ivan, on the other hand, I'd gladly ride like a merry-go-round pony.
