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."

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

Have you tried using Amazon's "search within the books" feature for "Antonella"?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

That's one of the things I did, Micole, to find the above.

There's also a book of short stories by Barry Gifford called American Falls: The Collected Short Stories. In it, one of the characters, though not the protagonist of the story, is named Antonella. There's another book of short stories by Dacia Maraini, Darkness: Fiction. In it, a murder victim in one of the stories is named Antonella.

That's all I could uncover.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Dayum, the hivemind is a thing of beauty.

I'm useless - my mind went straight to "My Antonia" and wouldn't budge.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

a film called The New York Ripper available on video, the heroine of which is named Antonella

Warning - this film is truly, extremely violent, even by the standards of Italian horror movies. Very unpleasant, also.

Thanks Deena and Micole--actually it's for a primary school teacher, so the children's book sounds perfect (if my flatmate can get hold of it).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The Escapist comic that Michael Chabon is creating, based on the character from Kavalier and Clay, is going to be a quarterly 80-page anthology, with the first coming out in January.

I can't even.

I'm hoping for a Christmas bonus at work, because nothing would make me happier than to spend money from the fundies on buying kink.

I'm catching up from a busy week and hey, new thread!, but mostly I'm just rolling the spicy goodness of Teppy's above quote around in my mind, while avoiding work. I got nothing on the book front. Oh, I recently infected a professor friend with Iain Banks' The Wasp Factory, and he went rushing around grabbing as much of the rest of it as he could. I love doing that.

OKAY! So very cool!

Hey, have any of you read Anne Garrels' book? Worth it? Not worth it? Worth getting from the library?

Hey, have any of you read Anne Garrels' book? Worth it? Not worth it? Worth getting from the library?

I got it from the library and really enjoyed it, but don't feel a pressing need to own it.
