Okay, that is COOL. I'm already done and have four books!
This has been an I Love Technology day, man. Thanks again, flea.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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."

Somehow it hadn't occurred to me that all of E. Nesbit would be in the public domain. Also, I see that all of poor H. Beam Piper is available. He wasn't around to renew the copyright, and I suppose he had no heirs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nook! Nook!
Wahhhh.... I too have the apps for my everything--PC, Mac, phone, tablet, but reading on the Nook is the best experience.. Points to them.

Awww, I'm pretty sure I'm the only other person here who knows that name, though DXM might.

Piffle, David! I read tons of Piper when I was younger.
And he's getting some new attention, because Little Fuzzy got rebooted by John Scalzi this year. Paid for fanfiction!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I read a bunch of Piper ages ago. And I remember some of it, which is the more surprising part for me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm a fan. I think I've read the full catalog, but it was quite a while ago.
Just finished John Scalzi's Fuzzy Nation, not sure what I think of it. We'll see how it holds up to re-reading.
Fuzzy Bones, by William Tuning, I liked a lot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I sit corrected. I should never have doubted the depth of our science fiction nerdlydom, O Buffistae.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I second ita !'s opinion on the nook reading experience. It is primo. But I like the nook app on my pc and phone because sometimes the Nook is over there.
