The BBC's webpage has five new stories they've commissioned in celebration of Sherlock Holmes.
Or maybe this should go in Fanfiction?

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 I agree with Emmett.
Has anyone read Shakespeare After All? I think KristinT said she got it for Christmas. I just got it from my stepmom, a Shakespeare prof, on the same day the IHT reviewed it. (They included a section from The National Review's review of the author's previous work, and that review was so full of vitriol I like the author already.)
Anyway, not making much typing sense, but am really enjoying the book. I am a Shakespeare geek though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Emmett's going to be playing this non-stop, much as he did the kitty vikings doing Led Zeppelin.
Make sure to watch the first three iterations in their entirety. Trust me.

OK, I'm only 100 pages in, but I'm recommending Sena Jeter Naslund's Four Spirits. It's fiction set in Birmingham, 1963. The title refers to the 4 girls killed in the bombing of the 16th St. Baptist Church, but they are not characters within it.
I know some here didn't like Ahab's Wife (which I adored,) but this is a fascinating weave of voices.

Who are the Marian Keyes readers here? I've read "Sushi for Beginners" and "Rachel's Holiday" in the last two weeks, and really enjoyed both of them -- she has a real gift for creating nuanced characters.
Where should i go next? Also, I assume the Maggie of Angels and the Claire of Watermelon are Rachel's older sisters -- am I right? If so, are there books about Anna and Helen yet?

Did we know that there is a musical based on Little Women?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, my friend John Hickock got a good review! He's playing Professor Bhaer.

The status is NOT quo.
Raquel, yes, I got it but haven't started reading it yet. Is it too dry, or will I get caught up in it? The only reason I've been avoiding it is that I try to avoid doing a lot of heavy academic reading during the school year (apart from the heavy academic reading I obviously already have to do).

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
are there books about Anna and Helen yet?
I'm pretty sure there aren't - I've been keeping an eye out.
