What an awesome name! That dude needs to have a rap album immediately.
Anya: Are you stupid or something? Giles: Allow me to answer that question with a firing.

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."

I imagine he's not only dead, post-google: (1891-1970), but rolling over in his grave at the prospect.

When I first saw the book, I kept hearing his name in my head as a series of descriptors: Field Marshall, Viscount, Slim.
After his shellacking in Burma, Churchill commented: "I cannot imagine a man with a name like 'Slim' could ever amount to much."

Huh. It totally figures that it would be 2 books rather than one.

George cracks me up entire, particularly with the invocation of the professor, as Tolkien wrote one book, reluctantly split into three for publication. George was thinking about maybe three, and here he is at seven, at last count.

And people get on Rowling for needing an editor.
On the other hand, I often buy books just for their page count. There's usually not that much price difference, and since I mostly read paperbacks while on the exercise bike, I want something that I'm not going to run out of. I can do a whole Dean R. Koontz book in one session.
(I read fast, it's not that I stay on the bike that long)
(And since if you've read one Koontz, you've read all of them, it's not like it's slow going)

Because books.

Heh. I've done this, especially in the summer, or if we're going away on vacation. I'm expecting the new Harry Potter to satisfy in this regard, of course.

I got spam today from Anita Blake. I didn't read it, but the idea made me chuckle.
