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."

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

And holy crap, I actually got a bunch of CDs and books and DVDs I might conceivably buy instead of jewelry and power tools.

I know! Stuff I might actually want. With mine they seem to have been taking items directly from my wishlist, as well as other, similar items.

Art Crawl!!!

So did I! I was shocked. Of course, the first thing in my box was a set of golfclubs -- I think that they may have confused me with my brother.

My gold box is all porn. And power tools.

I kinda get the power tools, but I've never bought porn from Amazon (why would I need to? I can get everything up to and including Nazi bondage porn at the mini-mart next door.). All I can figure is that it's due to the Euro-art-movies I buy for DH. But the juxtaposition makes me giggle.

I didn't see any vendors selling that collection "Used and New." Darn.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Darn you people with your gold box talk. Mine is offering me the DVDs for HP 1-3, widescreen, for $31.49

I may have to buy it.

Not a bad price there.

Also, the Penguin collection works out to about $4.40 a book, which isn't bad.

And...my gold box just offered me an external defibulator. What do they know that I don't?

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

That internal defibulators are so 2002?

Heh. My gold box just offered me a bunch of vampire books and dvds, and a book on exotic chickens.

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

"I vant to peck your blood!"

Wouldn't that be erotic chickens?

God, I hope not.

Although the thought of wee fangs dropping from their beaks is amusing.

What is even happening?

Has anyone read anything by Sheldon Siegel? I accidentally picked up his freshman novel Special Circumstances, and read it in a day or two, on vacation. I think it's about 5 years old. There's at least one sequel, which is teased at the back of the paperback version of Special Circumstances. I can't decide if I liked the book because it was good, or because I somehow, and miraculously if you ask me, managed to read a whole book with little interruption from the kids. My (book) reading has really taken a hit since I became a parent and discovered the interbunny.
