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.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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."

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

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.
And totally unconnected to this thread or any post therein--where and in relation to what did Hec utter--well, type-- your tagline?

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.

No, it was on the boards somewhere.

It involved Polter-Cow but I cannot remember which thread.

David, can you remember? I can't. It was definitely on this board, and I'm pretty sure it was in a thread I don't regularly frequent (which doesn't really narrow it down any, because I only read here and Bitches with any regularity).

The status is NOT quo.
Making a Skippy McSkipperson cameo appearance to recommend a wonderful book I just finished: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It was a wonderful read, and so unbelievably complex yet utterly readable. Bittersweet and beautiful and oddly funny. Quirky.
It's one of the most original and interesting books I've read in a very long time. You can find info and reviews about it here on Amazon.
