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

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)

move out and draw fire
OK, I read Curse of Chalion in one day, and have just ordered Paladin of Souls. Damn. I'd given up on there ever being good fantasy again.
Memory jog: This article [link] reminds me of a short story where this guy builds a dancing automaton, and its partner can't get out of its embrace and dies. Sort of a modern Red Shoes. Is this familiar to anybody? I thought it was maybe M.R. James or Le Fanu.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I picked up Paladin of Souls this weekend and got through about half on the plane (or in various airports).
