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."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Jilli, you loved it even with the spiders? The description gave even me the creepy-crawlies.
I just finished it, and now I can't fall asleep. Not because of the book, but all the same, I can't sleep.
God, it was fantastic. I mean really really.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm trying to be patient, and wait to buy both Thud and Anansi Boys at the next con I attend.(which will be OVFF, Oct 21-23rd) It's been difficult, though...

Yes, Steph, even with all the spiders. Neil's descriptions of them did not trigger my instinctive "Gaaaah! Gaaaaaaah!" reaction. Unlike, say, Caitlin's descriptions of spiders in Silk or Murder of Angels.
I need to get the audiobook of it now.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That's because we('re supposed to) like them in this book, I think

The seven-legged one was kinda cute as spiders go.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Very reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale."
Dammit, I was actively looking for this one in the bookstore today. They were out. I got Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex instead.
BTW, Tim Winton's The Turning? I can recommend. A lot.

Well, if Spike had had a sandwich. Or eaten bodybuilders while the creatine was still in their bloodstream...
