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.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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.
What did you think of The Stress of Her Regard?

If I only had a brain...
Impressed by the effort and the obvious research, didn't enjoy the narrative. Come to think, I'd rather read his sources than his novel.

I don't know -- I don't actually spend that much time at Borders.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Dang, missed the Bujold palaver when it was fresh. I will confess a great disappointment when I discovered that she was thinking of being in the romance genre. The notion that an author is targeting a marketing niche disturbs me. I think I get the reality that a product has to be a recognizable commodity to be attractive in the market.
I just wish this did not apply to my reality escape.

No no, she means the novel never forgets.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think she means it communicates over miles at a time at subsonic frequencies.
