I've got a hold at my library too.
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

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."

"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?
