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."

Oh wait, it gets better! Escape from the fetters of paragraph breaks!

“Wuss-tat.” OMG. This is killing me!!

"And no, I have no intention of allowing any editor ever to distort, cut, or otherwise mutilate sentences that I have edited and re-edited, and organized and polished myself."

Apparently, this retort wasn't one of those. Or perhaps it was. Hard to tell.

hahahaha. This has made my day.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I skimmed through a lot of the last LKH book I read. It's probably the first time in my life that I skimmed to get past the sex scenes rather than skimming to them. Odds are I'll get the latest at the library, just to see what, if anything, happens to Jason and Nathanial. Oh, alright, and Jean-Claude, too. Maybe he'll finally eat Richard. And by that I really don't mean porn.

If I only had a brain...

Jason and Nathanial.

So far? They get laid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Betsy I can't believe you bought the LKH. I mean we just snarked at the title two days ago.

I knew I was going to. Nostalgie de la boue.

Jason and Nathanial.

Ah--something they've always claimed to want. I hope they aren't guilt tripping afterward.

Their stories interest me way more than Anita's. Nathaniel's so damaged, and Jason keeps being the voice of reason in an unreasonable universe. It doesn't hurt that I tend to envision Nathaniel as a shorter Tom Welling and Jason as Ewan MacGregor.

What I liked about original Anita was her being the voice of reason. Plus the determination: the little bitch just would not tolerate seeing anybody getting hurt on her watch, and this seemed to come from her basic humanity, which made her a pretty good class protector IMHO.

Heh. When I had a crappy temp job doing front desk and snotty people would demand my name, I would tell them it was Anita Blake. That was fun.

edit: oh thanks, now I'm visualizing Ewan McGregor and I just can't stop. Yum.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

It's definitely the library for this one. I'm sorry that I bought the last one, even.

On a brighter note: Betsy, I bought the Rachel Caine "Weather Warden" books on your recommendation, and enjoyed them very much. I'm very glad that I didn't read the back-cover blurb of the second book until after reading the first. Way to totally give away the ending. Now I'm on tenterhooks for the next one and looking forward to lending them out to get my friends addicted. Thank you!
