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."

Re: "Who's your Daddy?"
Strangely enough, my local paper, The Orlando Sentinel, had this article about the phrase's origins today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, that's what I get for

As of a few days ago, at least, I know there were Buffistas out there intending to donate to tsunami relief but not yet sure where to direct their contribution. May I offer a suggestion, by way of a librarian friend who spent six months in Sri Lanka about two years ago setting up a community library:
Sri Lankan Libraries Need Urgent Assistance

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
As I said, it was in my paper today.
justkim, thanks for linking to the article. I don't remember if it was linked upthread, but I hadn't read it yet.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Today I picked up Three Junes. Has anyone read it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have not, but a friend of mine did, and said the first one was just wonderful, and the second two were to make it book-length, basically.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I read Dry and Magical Thinking over break, and I am now on the Augusten Burroughs love train. He kind of reminds me of myself, if I were an alcoholic gay advertising copywriter in New York. I need to get my hands on Running with Scissors.

move out and draw fire
So....if you get someone a book as a gift, and then you just sort of happen to read some of the book, maybe the intro and the first chapter, you should just keep that copy and get them a new one, right?
