We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

Closed Threads

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."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Good luck.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Best o' luck, Deborah!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I ordered two copies of The Weaver and the Factory Maid from my local bookstore today.

Hey, is the bound version of all of Fray available now? So I can order it?

ION, while in my local bookstore, I snagged a copy of Fighting the Forces, the collection of lit-crit about Buffy by the folks who run www.slayage.com. What I've read is pretty good but I'm already annoyed at the writer who describes Buffy/Spike fic as "slash". Argh.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup. It came out this week.

It's good to be good, it's better to be lucky. Much luck, Deb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ATTN: DEBORAH GRABIEN

I was in my awesome local mystery store (Murder Ink), and asked the guy if they had Weaver, and he found it on the shelf for me. They only had the one copy out, but he said they have a bunch of customers who will be THRILLED to read it, due to Anglophilia and love of old and/or creepy things.

For the record, this guy is the most helpful bookstore employee ever. The last few Christmases, I've walked in with increasingly random requests for recommendations, and he always finds me the best stuff. This year I asked for books having to do with autumn, and he pulled two right off the bat.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Jesse!

Not only do you rock, but you just won the East Coast tour jersey, if you want it! Verified unprompted store sighting!

E me with the current address. It's this jersey:

I will confess that I am unlikely to wear shirts that say things on them, as cool as that one is. But thanks!

Also, as Murder Ink is approximately one block from Jo's work, she should go in and talk to a weekday staff person about it, too.
