Early ,'Objects In Space'
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."
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.

In stores now!

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, I'll bet.

Sweet Mary, there are 340 holds on that thing!
It's been well-promoted. Two feature articles in the New York Times. Neil Gaiman has endorsed it. And so on.
Huh. I'm awfully out of the loop these days.
I've got a hold at my library too.

That's what a lot of the callers were saying.
