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."

If I only had a brain...

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
In honor, I'd be curious to see every Andre Norton fan here note the first book of hers that made a big impression on you.
Star Rangers. Elementary school--probably second grade, though it's possible it was first. I took that book out of the school library over and over; I've always thought I should track down a copy of it to own, just for sentimental value. (I'm not sure I want to try re-reading it. Loved it too well as a child to feel entirely safe trying it again.)

I think I read the Crystal Gryphon series pretty early.
I've still got my copies, I still read them.
Gah, I remember the stories, I can't remember the titles. The series with the people who can sing themselves into the bodies of animals, the Witch World series ...
edit: Moon of Three Rings.
This one!
Women as competent major characters.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I can never even remember what order the Gryphon series comes in.

Also, one of my first crushes on a fictional character was on Ross Murdock in the Time Trader books.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How much blame does Andre have to take for the whole animal-telepathy trick which has perpetuated in thousands of MarySueish adventures since?
AN seems like the primary source for that trope as it's been practiced ever since.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I don't know if I've read any books of hers. I think, possibly, she collaborated with -- Anne McCaffrey? -- in the late 80s on a series, which I read, but I may not have the righ person in mind.
Yes, the staggering tale of my ignorance continues.

Oof. This is almost as bad as JZ's confession last night that she's never seen Buckaroo Banzai or Repo Man or Diner. (Each a motherlode of quippage and quotage!)

I love Diner...(duh, what kind of fake hometown girl would I be, otherwise? Levinson is Dialogue's Bitch too.) Sorry, Hec, for thinking of you during Daniel Stern's "anal" record flipout. You are much kinder.
