Well, you said you'd be upset if she killed one. I figure killing two isn't covered by that statement.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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."

If the company the twins started is succesful, my kittens are on the twins buying it. If they squandered the money Harry gave them, I expect they'll survive.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What about Mom or Dad Weasley? That would suck in a heartbreaking kinda way.

Another social casualty...
I wanted to thank everybody for the rec for The Time-Traveler's Wife. I borrowed it from the libray a week ago, and I plowed through it over the weekend. I could not put it down. I was a wreck when I finished it. It was an unusal way of looking at an old idea, and she seemed to have really thought about her premise in great deal.
I must now buy it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
justkim, wasn't it fabulous? I found it totally absorbing and moving. I really loved both Henry and Clare, and their daughter too, and how self-possessed she was, and how easily she took to time-traveling herself.

I want to know what happened to Alba. I really want to know more about her story. How did she adjust when she got older? How did Clare adjust? Did Alba use any of the treatments they tried on Henry when she turned 18?
Such a beautiful book.

Always Anti-fascist!
That title blows. But so do mine. Just in a different way.

move out and draw fire
I'm kinda glad I was out of the States for the Earthsea debacle. Otherwise I would've watched it in some sort of masochistic, how-bad-can-it-be, I-know-they-hosed-Dune way, and then I would've had to start drinking.
I mean, I own the British version of the books with White!Ged on the front, and I'm still not over it.
Ah well, maybe they'll go for Left Hand of Darkness now, and make everybody white and throw the envoy into the wilderness with a female (and ONLY female) hottie companion.
And I realize that I've enjoyed Harry Potter fanfic far more than I enjoyed the last book, so now what? Do I pre-order? Do I bother wondering who's gonna kick the bucket, only to have her kill off Rita Skeeter or Dobby or something?
Bah.
OK, anyway, why I'm here - my adopted Marine reads Susan Douglas and has asked for books. I don't know what he's read and what he hasn't, so I was thinking I'd get something LIKE Susan Douglas, expand the playing field, you know? Amazon recommends Merceds Lackey - what do Buffistas recommend if you like Susan Douglas?
