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."
So I was complaining about the Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Next the other day (in Natter, I guess), and the good news is, 100+ pages in, stuff finally started happening. But not before several different history lessons!
Man, did he ever need an editor with a firmer hand. So much extra blah blah blah in those books.

He was dead before they were published so he wasn't really there to work on edits. I think they just took a flier and decided to run them as is.
Though he was very stubborn, and a long time established journalist so he might've resisted changes anyway.

Yeah, I think this would probably have been the case.
Excitement! I might be getting an e-reader for the winter holidays...i've been doing some research and am totally leaning towards the nook since my library supports it and i *heart* my library. Has anyone used the sharing feature?
A Fire Upon The Deep getting a sequel. A year from now. I don't want to know this far in advance!
Erin, do you mean the lending feature? Yes, indeedy. That's how I read Mockingbird, and I've lent as well. Which reminds me--I need to send tiggy my contact info, once I remember which email I'm set up with.
October's less than a year from now! But still too long.
I always think of A Deepness in the Sky as being a sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep. I don't know why, it clearly isn't, but it fits into that space in my head, somehow.

I am -t in this matter.
ita- yes indeedy, the lending feature. you you have to be within a certain range like with pda's or anywhere with wifi connectivity?
Oh, no, erin. Anyone with, I think, a Barnes and Noble account and lendable ebooks.
I don't have a Nook, but I do have a B&N account, and ebooks, and I lent ita a book. I'm in KC and she's in LA. Easy peasy.
Note: Not all books are lendable.
If there's two of us, maybe we are on to something...
