Jilli, did you know there was LitGothic site with a listing on Vernon Lee?
Oooh, she sounds fascinating, as does Simon Raven. scribbles down names
I'll have to look for their stuff.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

I haven't. They sound charming, although I appear to be squarely in the Badfort crowd, if you replace "sacking" with "sweatpants."
I want to live in place that's half Gormenghast half Disneyland. We'll call it... Jillilandia. Apparently Gaiman is a big fan of the Uncle stories.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
A friend of mine works in a library at the U of Alaska in Ketchikan; the chancellor there decided they no longer needed a library and had them get rid of more than half their collection.
Whaa? That's just... Fucking people. There are no words. I give up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm. The elephant in a purple dressing gown is a familiar image, yet I don't remember the stories at all. Maybe I knew someone who had them?
