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 think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Kind of difficult to consider them particularly romantic though, although they deal with the subject of romance most of the time. Hmmm.

I think that's because while a romantic novel has to include a romance, a novel with a romance doesn't have to include romanticism.

Art Crawl!!!

Is it (Alatriste) being released earlier in Spanish speaking countries?

I am currently reading a book by Reginald Hill called "The Stranger House" - it's not a Dalziel and Pascoe book and is so far, very enjoyable.

My sci-fi geek credentials are low, then--I've only read Hitchhiker's Guide, Foundation, and Stranger in a Strange Land.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

1984 and Brave New World shouldn't count as geek cred. Most American kids have to read them in junior high school. And by Most American kids, I mean I had to read them as assignments.

Poor John Brunner. Does nobody love him?
