Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I loved Sarum, absurd multigenerational incestuousness nonwithstanding.

His other England book Forest, lost me about 40 pages in, right after the deer sex scene told from the pov of a stag.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

right after the deer sex scene told from the pov of a stag.

You prefer to look at things from a more doe-like angle?

I prefer my reading material to be sans animal-pov-sex-scenes entirely.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I prefer my reading material to be sans animal-pov-sex-scenes entirely.

Dang, you're fussy.

I prefer my reading material to be sans animal-pov-sex-scenes entirely.

So, no Anita Blake books, then?

There's bestiality in those too? I thought it was just vampires.

Oh, no -- Anita has other lovers of the were- persuasion.

You see, in the crazy melty world known as the Anita Blake-verse, there are werewolves. And wereleopards. And wererats. No, seriously. Wererats. (That was the point where I lost all ability to take the books seriously.) And other were-types that I can no longer remember.

And Anita has fucked the leader of all of the groups, I'm pretty sure.

I don't think she's done Rafael, King of the Rats, has she? He's the only one who ever struck me as legitimately sexy.

I doubt she's done any of them while they're in their animal forms, either, because Anita's a Good Girl (tm).

Maybe she actually has standards. Or, singular, standard, and its NO RATS.
