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."

Always Anti-fascist!

I found 'Cartoons" a little masturbatory.(not in porniness, but, you know) Yeah...Eggers is funny, but the bitch is he knows it, too. Better than me. And if I forget, he'll remind me with a cute footnote.

I'm a hoot and a half. Love, your friend, Dave.

I've always felt for the little brother about that. I hope all the irony hasn't been too much for him.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

My newest column is up at GotPoetry.com: Your Mediocre Political Poem Is Hurting America. Usual Victor grumpiness.

No, actually, I thought it was much grumpier than usual. In another few years, you're headed for curmudgeon, babe. Then you'll wear shorts with long black socks and be a "Whatever happened to..." for some of us devoted followers.

Heh. Actually posted this in the wrong forum, but anyway...

You may be right, except that I intend to remain a very visible curmudgeon...

And please don't really go around like...Neil Young. That would be a waste.(I really did like the column...I just thought "Whoa, bad poetry evening for Victor!")

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've just finished reading Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire.

I had a hard tme getting through Wicked. I don't care for his story telling style; He's a bit too developed for my shallow readingness. But this story, I really liked. There were a couple of things that could have been delved into a little more, and maybe I dug this more because the similarities between the Oz 10 years after Elphaba's death and our country are very much, almost beaten into you. But I enjoyed it. Enough that I might try Wicked again.

Anyone else read it yet?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It's in my to-read pile. Got it for Christmas. I'll plan on it after I finish the current book.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I was given Son of a Witch as a Christmas gift, but I haven't started reading it yet because I am still reading Wicked.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I got Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister for Christmas. Does that count?

Not that I've read it. I zoomed through Freakonomics and am now taking my leisurely time with The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved.
