Yeah this is very different.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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 read Matt Ruff's Bad Monkeys this week. It's a very entertaining read, rather meta (narrative within narrative), deals with questions of good and evil and the proper means of managing them. Not entirely sure I liked it, but I wanted to keep reading.
Ruff is a really interesting writer: everything he writes is entirely different than everything else. I have to respect that, even though it makes it difficult to know whether you'll like the next thing he comes out with.

Actually one thing love about Brust many styles uses one he find suits particular story or series.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I read Bad Monkeys a few months ago and found it very entertaining as well. I definitely liked it. It's one of the most page-turning books I've ever read.

Yup, I would agree it was very page-turning, even when I was going o_0 at Jane's choices.

I read Little Bee yesterday and thought it was AMAZING. Anyone else read it?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I finished Cowboy Feng iffy about the ending. I have a helf-baked theory that Brust started the book without an ending in mind and when he got to that point he just couldn't think of anything else. But I did enjoy the ride.

The status is NOT quo.
I stayed up until 4am to finish the last of the Larsson books. I liked the first one all right, but DAMN the second two were good!

Because books.

It's good to keep hearing that, because I keep trying to get into the first one and it's not working that well. Right now I'm simply too distracted, but I know there's a payoff, so.
