Buffy ,'Lessons'
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."
Do any of you people know The Stainless Steel Rat? They were just recommended to me.
I loved those books. Or at least the first couple (as with most series, there are diminishing returns.) Protagonist is absolutely and completely amoral. This is entertaining.
They do seem to exist in the NYPL, so I may give them a shot.
I actually just read the first few Stainless Steel Rat (as I may have mentioned, the embassy's lending library basically contains the Sci-Fi Book Club holdings circa 1985) a couple months ago. Diminishing returns, but the first couple weren't bad. His writing style bugged the crap out of me, but I kinda liked the idea of a protagonist who breaks the law just because he'd be bored otherwise.
If you like the Soderbergh Ocean's 11, you'll like the early SSR books. They're exactly that playful hipster vibe. The first 2 books are ace, as are ...For President and ...Is Born.

Ooh, I love that.
Connie N., I just had a meeting with the boss of your company. He so rocked; he asked intelligent questions! Can you get them to send you to the Looniversity to relabel our books for 2 years? Please try.
Has anyone read The Danish Girl?

Oh, that's where he is! My world has just imploded. I feel like I've got a secret spy out there. Boss is an interesting guy, probably the truest Christian I know, and I'm glad he's getting over the provinciality. I don't know why so many people in the company don't like him. He's just a very honest man. Scares some folks, I guess.
I'd love to come visit for two years, but I suspect my husband would object. I'm thinking it'll be a job for a couple of strong-but-dumbs and one intelligent supervisor.
Well, she's got me beat: [link]
I'm at about 225 linear feet and out of room, which means there's some piling going on. Since I have no system to speak of, except to roughly group nonfiction, science fiction, mysteries and children's books, I have no idea how many books there are. A friend gave me that organizing system, in what I can only view as an excess of optimism.
