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 am sure Terry Pratchett's new book is not in fact titled, "Thud!" but now I deeply want somebody overly verbose yet funny and self-aware to write a book so titled.

It is called Thud! Who would have Thunk it?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Whee!

Damn it.

I know what I'm spending my yard sale earnings on now.

I must wait and not buy it until my next flight, as Pratchett makes excellent airplane reading.

Mind you, that's only a week away. Still hard, dammit.

I just started The Geographer's Library >[link] and I think I like it a lot. It reminds me some of Dictionary of the Khazaars and some of Jorge Luis Borges.

Thud is the name of the Discworld version of chess.

Mr. Pratchett is going to be doing a reading in Seattle on the last Tuesday of this month, and you better believe I'm attending.
