Megan, I'll check there on the way home and let you know for sure which ones they have tonight.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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."

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

For whatever reason, I have a sudden urge to read gothic romances. Creepy manor houses, heroines in flowing nightgowns running down dark hallways, mysterious noises, all that sort of thing. Does anyone have any recommendations for well-written examples of that genre?

Mary Stewart, Nine Coaches Waiting. I assume you've already read Rebecca?

I have not been able to find ANY Mary Stewart books that aren't part of the Hollow Hills series at any of the local used book stores. Deb told me I should read Thornyhold.

It will be (as of tonight) the current bath-time reading.

Victoria Holt's Mistress of Mellyn is pretty good. Holt is a blurred photocopy of Stewart, but I like her early stuff.

Oh, gosh, Mary Stewart. Nine Coaches Waiting, Airs Above the Ground, Touch Not the Cat . . .
Madam, Will You Walk suffers a little from "you're troubled and mysterious, I think I love you" itis, but the scene where she's racing the train . . .
I should replace my copies, they're falling apart.

And The Ivy Tree is a wowzer. But Jilli's already said she can't find any Stewart.

I sense some time spent on Half.com in my future ...

Yup.
And may I put in a plug for Joan Aiken Hodge, a touch more contemporary than Mary Stewart and another author I need to find replacements for.
