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 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.
Thanks Erin!
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.
"Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides.
Augusten Burroughs.
I've been meaning to read both Robin's and the Spectral Bovine's but have not gotten to either yet. And y'all know about my literary Pelecanos-crushing, if you're looking for a non-Grabien new mystery.(Funny to even think of them as writing in the same form. Cause they don't. Not really. And that's not a preference for one over the other...they are like pickles and ice cream. I love both, just not together.)
