I accidentally vaguely spoiled myself for that right at the start, and it was interesting to identify the lead-up, but I did not predict the circumstances of how it would go down. How awful.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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've started The Night Circus and I'm already into it. Even though it's the damn title of the book, I still had a WTF reaction to the fact that it's, well, a night circus. IT'S ONLY OPEN AT NIGHT.
This opening stuff with Prospero is giving me a Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell vibe.
Jim Dale is great because Alexander sounds like Dumbledore and Prospero sounds kind of like Hagrid.

R.I.P. Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I only ever read Love in the Time of Cholera, but I loved it and have been meaning to read One Hundred Years of Solitude forever.
