So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

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."

Herding cats for fun

Aw. I also like the "Guess How Much I Love To Read" bookmark.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

How bizarre. One of those was supposed to be Orlando Bloom and the other Michelle Kwan.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ooh, I never knew you could order those posters! I wonder if teachers can get a discount, because baby, what GREAT decorations for my future classrooms!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Not sure if this has been discussed, but Janet Frame died last week.

Oh, what an amazingly hard life.

Has anyone read Ruse? There are, so far, two volumes of comics collected, and I can't wait for the third. It's got an Edwardian setting, anachronisms explained well enough by the alternate reality thing -- gargoyles are dangerous beasts that really fly around and eat things, including people -- and the hero is a Sherlock Holmes type. He doesn't hate women, though, he just has little respect for anyone. His assistant is a woman, though there are hints she's not human. I've really enjoyed the first two.

I love ruse. Love alternate world Victoriana, and Edwardiana in general.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Currently reading American Gods. Loving it. Can't really imagine what's coming, and that's good.

So please, nobody spoil it for me!

Gar, have you read the comics, or are you just reading it now? I'm getting mine from the library, so I don't have access to the unbound comics. I think it's really good storytelling and very well-done art in a setting I almost always enjoy.

I read the same bound ones you read volumes one and two. They were in Borders last year, and I read them in store.Like you I would love to read the third volume.

I agree that it is good storytelling.

I am moving so I'm purging a bunch of stuff.

If anyone is interested in a free, hardcover copy of A Kiss of Shadows by Laurel K. Hamilton, e-me at my profile address.
