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."

I can't even.

Jessica, that's a very cool interview (and I just got started reading it).

I love this bit:

FH: Yes. You see, Western man has assumed that if you have…that all you need for any problem is enough force, power, and that there is no problem which won’t submit to this approach, even the problem of our own ignorance.

WM:(Laughter)

FH: Which, you see, throws it out the window right there because it is an asinine assumption, and it is the basic fallacy of Western man’s approach to living. Now, I’m not saying that we immediately drop this and adopt a vendetta…

Art Crawl!!!

Amazon sent me a message that my Harry Potter is on it's way and that I should get it by 7 pm in my time zone on Saturday. Also, they asked me not to complain until after 7 pm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now, I’m not saying that we immediately drop this and adopt a vendetta…

He never lets us have any fun.

move out and draw fire

I liked his phrasing of Liet Kynes' death, how the planetary ecologist got out of harmony with the planet. That's a very Navajo concept and indicates to me that FH really was getting into the various desert-dwelling cultures he spoke about.

God I love that book. Wish I could make it through the others.

From that silly interview about the eviltude of Harry Potter - is it true that there are Wiccan chaplains in the military? Somehow I'm having a hard time believing that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm not sure that there are Wiccan or pagan chaplains (as in, that's the religion that the chaplain himself identifies with); however, there is a section about Wicca in the Army Chaplain's Manual.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

is it true that there are Wiccan chaplains in the military? Somehow I'm having a hard time believing that.

A quick google is finding a few Wiccan prison chaplains, but no military ones yet. Most of the hits I'm getting are just that the military chaplains handbook recognizes Wicca as a religion, and a few hits on "The military lets the Wiccas do ... but they won't let the [fill in more mainstream religion here] do it."

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

I've got a friend who isn't a chaplain, but who leads a Wicca circle on an Air Force base (or did, for a decent stretch of time) as a civilian.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

These are fun! I adore William Carlos Williams version.

I was just about to link to that Dana. Damn you.

I love the A.A. Milne one.
