So far? They get laid.

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."

"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.
So far? They get laid.
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.

Herding cats for fun
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!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I just got the first Weather Warden book and plan to start it tonight.

The status is NOT quo.
Here you go: Anne Rice: looney or egotist?
Is it wrong that my response to that whole thing was BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ?
Really, Anne. Is this
really
the best way to inflame engage your readers?
ION, I couldn't even buy the latest Anita Blake. I love eroticism in horror, but what everyone else said. When the corpse is preferable to the sex, you have a problem.

If I only had a brain...
I finished it last night. I admit, I gave about three minutes to each chapter.
There is damned little non-sexual content. And it's not great porn, either. Seriously. This isn't even a fun wallow. It is a waste of money, paper and time.
