That does sound fun.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

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."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
It's a good book. A mind-bending book, because I got about 150 pages into it before I was really sure it was a joke, but a good one. Lots of strange resonances and connections, and a lot of cheerful nonsense.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
There was a thing on NPR this morning with a British woman who's written a book, it seemed, about a magician who was helping the British army in the 1800's. It's fantasy. Has anyone heard of such a book. I was late catching the program and didn't hear the name and thought I might check it out.

Well, I was about to Xpost, too...
It sounded interesting to me, based on the NYT Magazine articles of several weeks ago, and I'm not much of a fantasy reader.

It's been well-promoted. Two feature articles in the New York Times. Neil Gaiman has endorsed it. And so on.
