Dayum, the hivemind is a thing of beauty.
I'm useless - my mind went straight to "My Antonia" and wouldn't budge.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

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."

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

"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?

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Dude. You know, I don't generally hold much stock in Amazn's recommendation feature, but I was futzing with the SF/Fantasy recs to please my shopping fambly, and in the midst of a sea of LOTR items (most of those that I want, I own) I found that they'd recommended the TPB of Fray. That was pretty clever of them.
(Not that I don't own the individual issues of Fray already, and you know I realized I'd put Firefly on my wishlist, but anyway, it was sort of cool.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah, I got Fray, too. But I've also bought at least one set Buffy DVDs from them, so that may be it.
