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

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."

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

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

OK, I'm done with Smoke and Shadows. Any Tanya Huff fans around who haven't bought a copy yet and would like one?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
What series is that in, Matt?
I'm not Matt, but I can tell you that it's tangential to the Blood series, in that the main character is Tony, who is Henry's sometime partner/food source.
(sorry, if that's not coherent, I'm a little tired)
