I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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 sold a lot of books through e-bay. Half.com is another fairly simple option, but not as quick. Either way, it's not difficult, but generally works best for genre books.

Doesn't ebay own half.com now? I got very confused trying to look at it/them.

I think so.

In both cases, you post the info and a price. On e-bay, people (hopefully) bid during the auction period - about a week usually - and send you the money. Half.com listings don't expire, and the money goes through them, but IME you're less likely to unload things quickly.

Has anyone read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell? I read it last night. It started supeeeeeerrrrr slow, but then I got kinda into it, but I thought the ending was lame.

Thoughts?

Would it be terribly restrictive if you guys whitefonted any major spoilers in JS&MN? I'm on the waiting list for it at the library, but if it's inconvenient I'll happily unsub for a few weeks from the thread.

No problem on my end, Wolfram.

I haven't read anything really GOOD in a while. It's so annoying. Just mediocre stuff, and I find my mind wandering.

I need recs. Or new writers. Something. Anything.

"Fortress of Solitude" by Jonathan Lethem. It has a little of everything.
