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.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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."

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 page won't load right on the 100-year-old browser at work, but near as I can tell this is her contact page:

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.

I grabbed my copy of Preston & Child's The Relic Tuesday to read while waiting at the auto shop. Apparently, it's been long enough since I last opened it that it's effectively like reading a new book - my only recollections are a few snippets from the film version.

I raced through Old Man's War. And prompt bought the 2nd book in the series! I quote enjoyed it, and I'm going to buy a copy for my dad. I think it's right up his alley. My dad is the one that turned me on to old school Heinlein, after all.
