Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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."

No prob, Jilli. I'm glad I had to look for it, because I had apparently failed to bookmark the original post, and it's so useful!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Calibre rules all.

Because books.
Did anyone else read The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones? It was new last year, I think.
I read it because it's set in the Edwardian era, and it got great reviews, and it was the most fucked up, delightful, chilling little book I've read in a long time. It's a weird mashup of ghost story and comedy of manners, with added splashes of fairy tale and magic realism. I loved it.

I read it. I didn't adore it, but it was fun.

I inhaled it. I think she writes beautifully, when she's not trying too hard, but she included some too-pointed metaphors and imagery ("Maybe someone will teach this book one day!"), too. Overall, it was frothier than I expected it to be, I guess? But it was a lot of fun!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm reading a book by Tanya Huff, "The Silvered" - kind of a fantasy with werewolves and magic ... and a slight flavor of steampunk. It's an interesting take - she's constructed a society in which werewolves are the elite.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
That does sound interesting. We have seen vampires as the elite in a lot of variations, sometimes the hidden rulers of our society, sometimes rules in various alternative worlds (with many many variations on what a vampire is). But I don't think I've see werewolves as elites before, at least not at the very top of pyramid.
