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).

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."

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.

If I only had a brain...
We knew, Sumi, but we hadn't seen a review yet. Our daughter told us about it.

The Little Women musical had a pre-thingy at my Looniversity, and was widely enjoyed by my coworkers who attended.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It makes me laugh quite hard to think of John cast this way. In college we such a horndog that his nickname was "the Walking Erection." He's very funny and has the filthiest sense of humor anywhere. He's one of my friends from college I still hang out with.

Just gave "Last Chance to See" as a birthday present to a local environmentalist. It was co-authored by the late lamented Douglas Adams, and (in my opinion) is the funniest book on the subject of endangered species ever written.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Lyra Jane, I like Marian Keyes as well. Rachel's Holiday was pretty good. I didn't care as much for Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married, though.
Marian Keyes came here for a reading last year, and she was just delightful.

True. It's one of those, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying books for me. There's only one Adams I don't have- The Meaning of Liff.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
There's only one Adams I don't have- The Meaning of Liff.
You. Must. Get. It.
Well, actually, get the Deeper Meaning of Liff which has all of the definitions from the first book plus a lot more. The thing with that book is that for a few days afterwards you'll be walking around going "there should be a Meaning of Liff word for...(whatever commonplace thing or occurence you just noticed there's no name for). I still find myself doing that from time to time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still use the term Abilene to mean the coolness on the other side of the pillow. Only to myself, and not that often, since my pillow doesn't get flipped.
Still, vital word.
