Actually my first impression was "gym bunny in a Dracula cape."
My second thought was, "Are you sure this isn't the cover of Dude, Where's My Peroxide?"
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

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."

Ann, that's a ferret.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I've not read the Christine Feehan books
They make me throw books across the room, and that's not like me. I've only read part of a couple of them, since I couldn't get through either one, but I thought they were serious dreck. I see them recc'd all over the place, though, so maybe it's me.

They make me throw books across the room
Speaking of books to throw across the room, does anyone want my paperback copy of Laurell K. Hamilton's "Obsidian Butterfly"? It's the best of the lot, but when I tried to re-read it I couldn't get past how much I want to smack Anita for being a selfish, shallow whiner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is only tangentially literary, but Lawrence Block is writing the introduction to the overheardinnewyork.com book! Fun!!

"what's left when you take biology and sociology out of the picture?" "An autistic hermaphodite." -Allyson
Yeah, he's out of his mind. Apparently he wrote it because he was bored and it seemed like a fun thing to do while he was working on the next Vlad novel. From what I can tell it took him about a month or so. WHILE HE WAS WRITING ANOTHER NOVEL. Nutcase. Some people are too talented for their own good. Or my own good. Or something.
Anyway. Hope we get to see it sometime soon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. Sounds like he has a touch of debiculus grabienitis.

I can't even.
Yeah, it would be great if he can get the book published. Somehow, I doubt the book will make it through all the rights entanglements, but I so hope it does. I'd buy that book the moment I saw it.

Always Anti-fascist!
bwah, ita. and wrod, too. Cause when I'm bored, I get my hair cut. Or bother all my friends with lengthy e-mail...it's not usually creative.

Ah, well, if he can't talk a publisher into it, I'm sure there are ways to, you know... a la "Global Frequency". "Breven Stust? Never heard of him."
