I bought more Laurel K. Hamilton Anita Blake books after reading my first one. I plead Buffy withdrawal.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

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 honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

If I only had a brain...
Oh, I've read zillions of Anita Blake; I did so even when they slipped from "bad but I'm enjoying them anyway" to "What WAS I thinking?" to "If this is porn, I've read better". I actually thought the third Merry Blake book was better than the first two, which just shows you.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I've read all the Anita Blake books, and I'm beginning to weary of them too. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd like just a little plot between sex acts.

Actually what I jumped in to say was that all Buffistas need to buy Eats, Shoots and Leaves: A Zero-Tolerance Approach to Punctuation at once.
It's funny and true. And has pandas on the cover!

Raquel! I'm reading that right now and it's absolutely hysterical.

Oh no! It's Prescriptivists vs. Descriptivists again!
Didn't you see the smackdown The New Yorker gave to Eats, Shoots and Leaves?

Isn't it? I bought it for airplane reading and giggled out loud the whole way. I just ordered a copy for one of my dear friends, who is also a Stickler. She's always used the phrase "eats, shoots and leaves" as an example, and her partner (who always gets sayings screwed up) uses "eats, shoots and ladders."

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I'm finally working on Laurie Notaro's I Love Everybody (And Other Atrocious Lies). There's a chapter on 'The Sims' that almost made me wet myself (and go out and buy 'The Sims'. Which I actually did. Buy 'The Sims'. Not wet myself.)
