Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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."

And of course it's the ones I already have in print.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I wonder how much an omnibus version of his ebooks would cost? Someone should make that happen.

There's an ebook omnibus of the Tiffany Aching novels for $29.99. I'll probably end up buying it at some point.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I finished War and Peace last night, after I took a break to re-read Pyramids, Small Gods, & The Last Hero.

I've re-read Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, and I started Maskerade last night. I need to re-read the witches books before I loan them to the StuntHusband on Tuesday.

I think it's time for a re-read of Jingo. Vimes at his best. Fifth Elephant should be around here somewhere, too. Lady Sibyl stopping a fight with the power of opera.

There's a part in War and Peace that reads not unlike Sam watching the opera at the end of Fifth Elephant. It quite distracted me.

I just did a re-read of the witches, Aching, and guards series(es) over the holidays, so I'm going back through the other ones. I am quite fond of Cohen.

Because books.

How do you pronounce Aching, in this context?

Would they be a good place to start reading Pratchett?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I've always pronounced it like the thing your back is doing if you sleep funny. But I have no authoritative source for that.

I would assume that there are a lot of kids who start Discworld with them.
