I second Teppy's suggestion. I'm not a big fan of Crazy for You, but the rest are a lot of fun.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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."

Steph, I bought Tell me lies last night, but Polgara told me that a couple of other Crusie's were better, so I am hoping that when I am standing in front of the Crusie books, I will remember those titles.
My vote is for Faking It.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Lee, start with Welcome to Temptation and Faking It. IMO.
Those were the two Polgara recommended too, which I remembered as I was standing in front of the case where they were marked as being only 3.99, so I bought both of them. I already had the Lodge book, which is now higher up in my TBR pile, but I also bought the Jackson book, the Gaiman book, a George book (not one of her series, but a standalone), the Peters book, and a few others.

What is even happening?
Oooooh Lee! You go to the bookstore the same way I do. Do you too achieve a fugue-like state, that only begins to weaken when your arms get too tired?

Usually. This time I actually had a specific list in mind, and really didn't deviate from it. It just happened to be a long list, since I had some gift certificates to spend.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Holy Christ.
Hesitate to Call
by Louise Glück
Lived to see you throwing
Me aside. That fought
Like netted fish inside me. Saw you throbbing
In my syrups. Saw you sleep. And lived to see
That all that all flushed down
The refuse. Done?
It lives in me.
You live in me. Malignant.
Love, you ever want me, don't.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Indeed, Jen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. I just finished Sethra Lavode. I haven't read a book in one day since the last HP. This was much more worth it. I wasn't a big fan of the Phoenix Guards trilogy, but I found this one so much more engrossing I'm wondering if the first deserves a re-read.
What I did not expect was to be so touched. "My conscience is dead." indeed.
Has it been covered how the line of the Phoenix was continued, with Zerika as the last one? Is there something I should know about Laszlo? Does he figure into it?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I'm guessing it's something to do with old spirits from Scotland?

That was my guess too, Fay. But it's intriguing enough for me to try and track down the conversation. Given, of course, that it was most likely in a thread I seldom frequent, or far upstream in a thread where I've skipped, so I'd be unlikely to stumble across it on my own, and that it wasn't a private AIM or email conversation.
