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."

Art Crawl!!!

While looking for a list of books by an author (Ann C. Fallon) I came upon the Internet Book List. . .it's like the IMDB, except it's for books!

move out and draw fire

I hate that Peter S. Beagle, who is such a good author, has never been financially successful. I do wonder how someone else got legal custody of his mother.

I still think his adaption of LOTR was better than Walsh's. I wish PJ had gotten Beagle, instead of his partner and Phillipa Boyens.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Anyone reading Anansi Boys? Dear god, I am LOVING it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I am, and I am. I'm maybe 2/3 through. Very fun. I do think I liked American Gods more, though.

I'm maybe 2/3 of the way through, too. I may go back and re-read American Gods when I'm finished. I really liked American Gods, but it was also intellectually tough slogging, for me.

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

I fear my book budget only stretched to Thud! for new releases.

I am JEALOUS of you Anansi Boy havers, though.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It and Coraline are the only two books I've bought for myself in months. I love my library.

Waiting for the library to get SoUE 12 into their system rather than this "on order" crap, would be nice, though

I got it from the library, as I am NOT one of the Buffistas who eschew the library since they can't stand to give the books back.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Me, neither. I'd rather have broadband and Netflix.

I buy print media on a regular basis, but it's comics. Grown-up books have fallen by the wayside. Or are obtained at the crack den that is Half-Price Books.
