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."

move out and draw fire

Huh. That's like the DVD extras of a book.

OUTTAKES?!?! Something DIDN'T make it in?!?

Bahahha.....

And, here I thought what she really needed was a better editor to TRIM the damn thing.

Just finished Middlesex. And... I don't know what I think about it. Which is usually a good sign.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And, here I thought what she really needed was a better editor to TRIM the damn thing.

The first three books were probably more edited. I'd hate to see what didn't make the cut in OotP.

If I only had a brain...

Harry Potter Trims His Fingernails. And feels bitter about it.

Just finished Middlesex. And... I don't know what I think about it. Which is usually a good sign.

this book prompted some of the best discussion my book club has had in the 5 years or so we've been meeting. Tonight we're discussing the Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, which I enjoyed. It was very easy to read, but I thought she did a great job illustrating the main characther's alienation from both his Indian parents and mainstream America at the same time, particularly in his high school and college years.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Weren't people talking about House of the Scorpion recently? It's been optioned for a movie.

I can't even.

Has anyone else read Lewis Shiner's Say Goodbye: The Laurie Moss Story (1999)?

I had read his Deserted Cities of the Heart and Glimpses years ago, and enjoyed them both very much.

I just finished Say Goodbye tonight (after staying up until 4am last night, absorbed in it).

I know some people who would be psyched to go to [link] and search "Batgirl Poster". If this is you, go! Do!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am about to venture forth to Borders with $100 worth of gift certificates to buy books for my vacation. I have the latest Elizabeth Peters' Peabody book on the list. Any other recoommendations for light, fun books?
