Sophia - yeah, but give her some Allingham, too, cos she's better than either - and utterly suitable for that age.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

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."

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have yet to read any of the Watch books. I think my favorite Pratchett is Thief of Time. It's just so freaking awesome, with the plots intertwining, and the playing around with the nature of time, and it has such a lovely last line.

"Jingo" is my favorite Guards books. I love how Vetinari uses Vimes as his weapon of last resort and how Vimes realizes that Vetinari is actually on his side.
And Nobby: "He was supposed to have the body of a twenty-five-year-old, but nobody seemed to be sure where it was."

Art Crawl!!!
I just took "The Game" out of the Library. I haven't got very far yet but from the sleeve -- I liked the idea of a book character x-over with Kipling. . . although I can see where it might not work when actually done. Also, somehow I was surprised that it was already 1924.
