Yeah, Sophia.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.
Buffy ,'Lessons'
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."

Because books.
I didn't discover Marsh until I was an adult
I'd never heard of her until you mentioned her, and after a little web surfing, she sounds great! This is why I love books -- there are so many out there, I'll never run out of things to read (and when I find a mystery author I like, I tend to gobble them as quickly as I can). I still have lots of Christie to get around to.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
If Ariel is what I'm thinking of (boy and his unicorn, set in a world where electricity suddently stops working and magic suddenly starts working), I have very fond memories.
Wow. I remember that book. IIRC, that was the first blow job that I ever read. Actually, I think that's how I found out about blow jobs. (Am I right? The girl seduces him? There's loving detail about her hair brushing back and forth on his stomach? The things an 11-year old mind remembers. (We picked it up at the used bookstore.))

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Sophia - yeah, but give her some Allingham, too, cos she's better than either - and utterly suitable for that age.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

move out and draw fire
Oh wow - I loved Ariel but I thought I was alone in the world. Thanks for the linkage, John!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just got a notice from the library that Laurie King's The Game is finally waiting for me. Do I remember that people here didn't think it was that good?
I guess I'd better finish Agatha Christie's Passenger to Frankfurt first. I didn't realize she wrote for so long -- this book is from 1970.

Got a bunch of Pratchett out of the library. Currently reading "Men At Arms." God, I love Vimes. Heck. all the Guard. And Vetinari.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Oh, I love "Men at Arms." It's only the second of the Night Watch books-- after "Guards, Guards!" and I think it's where the Watch really gels, as a group of characters.
