My Father's Dragon, Ruth Gannett
This is one of my favorite books in the world. I have my Dad's old copy, and I cherish it.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Jen, isn't it great? My dad read it to my brother and me when we were young.
And who doesn't love The Westing Game?
Hmm. Possibly I should finish one of the, um, nine books I'm currently in the middle of before starting another...

Aren't there a bunch more Borderland anthologies out there?
Yes, and a fantastic Borderland novel by Emma Bull.
And doesn't Micole have a story in one of them?
Really? Neat!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And two fun Borderland novels by Will Shetterly.
She does, Jilli, in the last one, The Essential Bordertown. It's quite good.

I can't even.

Love Borderland. (See Boyett ravings previous, his story was the scene setter in the first anthology).

How cool! And of course, I'm AFB, so I can't just go look to guess which one. But, I have google.

Thanks for the link, JSw. Looks like I got the second anthology, not the first. Should I wait to read the first before starting the second, or does the order not matter so much?

The order doesn't matter so much, although some of the characters are repeated. Others aren't. I think you'll be fine.
