My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

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."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Don't buy the new LKH. Buy the new Terry Pratchett instead.

Buy it from Betsy at a discount. You both win.

wrod.ETA: Somebody tell me what's on the Entertainment film in Infinite Jest so I can appease my Bayliss nature and still go on with my life without flagellating over this 1000 pages again? Please? There's chocolate in it.

I bought the LKH for my beloved wife, and the Terry Pratchett for both of us. She seems to be reading for the porn, and says she was disappointed that there wasn't more porn in the last Merry Gentry book. I've tried to explain about how there's actual porn out there that is much cheaper than first run hard cover books, and is better written to boot, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
So, I read Pratchett and bragged about how good it was and told she couldn't read it until she finishes the Anita thing. So there.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Oh, so how *was* the Pratchett? I was going to try to restrain myself until the paperback came out, but should I just give in and buy the hardcover like I did for the last two?

If I only had a brain...
So far I'm eeeh. We'll see if it grows on me, but I haven't laughed out loud yet.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
We talking "Hatful of Sky?" It's not as funny as some of the others, but it's a good little story. The treatment of Granny Weatherax toward the end is marvelous, and there's at least one genuinely scary moment.

No, the new one, "Going Postal". I dug it. Pratchett seems to get sharper and sharper with his characters every time. There were some soft bits in the plot itself, but overall, a stellar piece of work. No surprise there.
