Is it non fiction or fictionalized?

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."

Non-fiction...some of the dialogue got reconstructed.David Simon used to be a Baltimore Sun crime reporter, and Edward Burns is ex-cop turned schoolteacher(there's a guy loves doing stuff the hard way.) They hung around and followed people, basically.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
OK, I'm in the "gloaty-gloat-gloat" privileged corner.
I just got the e-MS of Roz Kaveney's new non-fiction, Waking into Dream: Readings in Science Fiction Film.

Random question: I need a make and model of a car I might rent if I go to London. What's a stereotypical British rental car?

I just finished reading Cornelia Funke's new book Inkheart and enjoyed it emensely - even more than her other book The Thief Lord. A few pages into the book I got that feeling that you get when you read a familiar, well loved book, so I know that I will be rereading this on often (so I may have to buy it!) Some reviewers felt it was too long but I can't imagine what could have been cut.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just finished The Golden Compass, and I'm pissed I hadn't read this before. I'm still a little puzzled by some of the technicalities of the world he's built, but I love his cranky short-sighted big-hearted heroine, the instability of the world around her, and he had me really tense for the last couple chapters.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just put Inkheart on my reserve list at the library yesterday

I was talking to my sister on Sunday and she asked me if I had read Inkheart yet. When I said I was half way through it she said "Me too!". My sister isn't a big YA, Fantasy fan but she's enjoying this one because of all the book references.

I love Inkheart. I read it a few months ago ( I guess before Christmas) and was enchanted by the references. I've been playing with how I can use pieces of it to teach allusion.

I love the next one in the trilogy, The Subtle Knife more, if that's possible.

I am terribly excited to get back to the library and get the next one. It was such a involving read.
