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."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I just read that recently and really liked it, but I havent' been able to get my hands on the second. Will try again, now that you've reminded me.

My copy of The Hallowed Hunt got here yesterday. I really want to skip that whole working thing and read it instead. I just reread the other two and still found them to be wonderful. I'm not a big fantasy fan, but I'd probably tackle "Football Plays Explained" or "Collecting Barb Wire" if she wrote them.

I can't even.

I sprung for the hardback, since I liked the first two so much

This is likely to be me, however (checks calendar) I may be covered if I can wait a bit. Hmm. I don't have that much willpower, but maybe I can forget about it for a couple of weeks if I try.

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

I was very sad to have finished it (in a 3am bout of insomnia). It was a very satisfying process, reading it.

I'm reading "Tale of Two Cities" for the first time. You know, this Dickens fellow has quite a way with words. I think he'll go far.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Dickens is so much fun. Wait till you get to the climax, with Miss Pross! I just love the name, Miss Pross, and the fact that she is a stout, indefatigable, middle-aged handmaiden makes it that much more enjoyable. (I am sure, unless you're on page 2, that you've already met Miss Pross.)

Well, page 30, with the banker and Miss Manette. But I'll look for Miss Pross.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I always had the vague idea that I kind of liked Tolstoy, but I'm reading "The Kreutzer Sonata" and hating it.

If I only had a brain...
