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?
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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."

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.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
No no, she means the novel never forgets.
I think she means it communicates over miles at a time at subsonic frequencies.

It's endangered due to the high amount of poaching.
