The King of Elfland's Daughter, who's read it? Comments? I find my lit'ry eddication somewhat lacking, sometimes.
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

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."

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.

I can't even.

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.

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

Ok, that's disturbing.

It was a naked corpse. In Lucite high heels.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Usually finding a corpse is one of least disturbing things that can happen in an Anita Blake book. I think the fact that they left off the sex long enough to find a corpse is a good sign.
