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."

Huh. I'm awfully out of the loop these days.

I've got a hold at my library too.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

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

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Jonathan Strange sounds kinda-sorta similar to the sort of thing that Tim Powers writes. Anyone here ever read Powers' Last Call?

Last Call is one of my favorite, favorite books, ever. (Note, I will not be insulted if you read it and hated it--I'm always interested to hear why people don't like books I love beyond reason).

Last Call is one of my favorite books ever. Although I am also very fond of On Stranger Tides.

Powers is very hit-and-miss for me; when he's on, nobody is as rich and strange. When he's off, he's offputting.

I have a coupon for 20% off any book for Borders. . . I'm thinking that Jonathan Strange might be fun to purchase at 20% off.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm thinking that Jonathan Strange might be fun to purchase at 20% off.

It's 20% off the regular price, though. Isn't it already at 30% off, being new?
