There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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."

Because books.

Small Gods is very good

Sounds good. I'm going to the library tomorrow, too, so I'll see if they have it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Small Gods was my first Pratchett, and I enjoyed the hell out of it.

I just started The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, like, FINALLY. It is, of course, damn good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And well, not anal. My records aren't even in alphabetical order.

I can vouch for that, which was a real bugger when I was trying to raid his collection on the way through. From now on I'm calling him Ozymandias, because I gazed upon his works and despaired.

Re Pratchett, I tend to recommend Wyrd Sisters. For it is damn funny, and indicates that the guy can handle a plot as well.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Youse guys probably already did this, but I will still recommend Perdido Street Station.

It is weirder than me. That should not be possible.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Well, babe, we only have your word that it is. And you're biased. Wouldn't want to get in "contrapment"

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Okay, show of hands. Which of the two characters on this book cover is speaking the title sentence?

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

No book title should ever have "Uh..." as the starter word.

If I only had a brain...

You both know that's a Photoshopped parody, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

How can you tell?
