Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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 love the Joe and Beth Krush illustrations.

You're right, I think they are different, I'll have to check my copies.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I read the sample chapters of The Chocolatier's Wife and I do like it very much so far, so I bought it (still at $.99 today). Thanks for the rec, Connie.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

So, anyone read Scalzi's "Old Man's War?" I'm having a really bad kidney pain day, and am thinking of indulging and buying a new book to read. Thoughts?

Thanks for the rec, Connie.

I should find a way to contact her and congratulate her for getting it out to a wider audience.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Strix, I read it, and it's great fun, and light enough for a sick day read.
