Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

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."

UST= Unresolved Sexual Tension. Which, in Anita's case, is all too often resolved within nanoseconds.

I can't even.

Ah. So much becomes clear now. Sure she didn't become a man?

Any day now she'll become a hermaphrodite.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The King of Elfland's Daughter, who's read it? Comments? I find my lit'ry eddication somewhat lacking, sometimes.

Well, I finished the first 3 LKH books, and there's precious little sex in any of them. I think she holds hands once or twice.

She's gotten over that. But it's not sex unless there's penetration--that's the American definition of sex, apparently--and meeting undead hotties and tornmened werewolves for angsty sex is called "dating" in her world. God forbid Anita should just go to the movies. Of course, she's probably slaughter half the audience if she did.

Yes, but they'd die with smiles on their faces.

The King of Elfland's Daughter, who's read it?

Dunsany is COOL. I mean, he's a Lord!

It's a marvelously-written, rather elegiac/melancholy novel. Written in the omniscient, which I think is very neat and unusual (more so now than in the past, of course). Definitely worth reading.

Thanks, 'suela!

Word. Kind of old-fashioned and stilted (but I like that sort of thing). Really important in the genre, so well worth it.

Guys, talk me down.

WHY did I buy Incubus Dreams? Why?

I'm three chapters in. So far, Anita has had sex at least three times, always in multiples. Then she talks about how guilty she feels about sex, and how she isn't really ready to have sex, and maybe her relationships are better without sex. Then she has angsty conflicted sex.

Oh, and they found a corpse. Then back to the sex.

It would probably help if I liked any of her new harem at all.
