DH is The Dictionary, by Miriam-Webster. That is so appropriate for him.
I, however, am Ulysses. "When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero." I wonder if I should even bother trying to deny it.
Simon: Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword. Zoe: I think he knows which end to hold.

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 love Mosley's books(haven't read them all, though) Glad to hear he's cool, Deb.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
erika, not only cool, but hot. He's a definite sleek hottie.

I am reading a Dana Stabenow mystery for the first time. I'm liking her.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm Ender's Game. I've never even read that. Just about every other book mentioned has been one I've read and at least liked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ender's Game is a great book, especially if you haven't read much Card.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I'm trying to enjoy Dan Simmons' Ilium. A few huge logic flaws are spoiling the effect a bit. There is thing where women may have only one baby, in order to keep the population at a fixed number. What that would do is halve the population in each generation.
It is a major plot driver and just plain busted arithmetic. Grr.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Um, maybe the men are supposed to have babies too? Never underestimate the demographic possibilities of MPREG.
I liked Ender's Game, but I'm personally of the opinion that there is a point in my education/growth after which I can't read it and respect it. That's the point at which I realized that Orson Scott Card doesn't know a single thing about developmental psychology.

I am Love in the Time of Cholera
You're Love in the Time of Cholera! by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff could get you killed.
um, whatev...
