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."

move out and draw fire

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.

Dude, I like my porn spelled properly.

Then it's called "Erotica." Porn plus Spellcheck = Erotica. You should know that by now.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Spellcheck adds in the actual interesting plot elements and characterization along with correcting the typos? My impression is that Hamilton needs a lot more than a macro for the correct spelling of "ardor" to move her recent work from porn to erotica...
