Sparky suggested I visit over here to ask if anyone's read Vellum or Ink ? Still new to the multithread.

You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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."

Damn, that was good. Tense, though -- I was holding my breath for, like, the last 1/4 of the book. Good stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I finished a book too! Way too exciting, considering it's not exciting. I just read so rarely these days.
Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner. I have to admit, the shenanigans in Swordspoint sometimes went over my head, when they weren't primarily emotional. This one talks down to me more, and I can't say I don't appreciate it.
I think she did a good job of a clueless learning-her-way story without me feeling impatient or scornful. Katherine didn't know some things, and she was going to learn them, but I didn't dislike her or the author for it.
Didn't love the book, but I sure did enjoy it.

Oh, YEAH. I forgot you had mentioned that!
Damn, I love Cordelia.

She paid too much.
I do adore Cordelia. She's just awesome. Aral is too, of course.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
No way...I believe I did come close to writing Lethem/ Pelecanos once. Not sure if George would dig that...but it is *me*...as I recall they spent much more time fondling records than each other.(As well as being quite jealous of the time I spent with the other one.) But you just can't punk the leading crime writer in America...I'm sure you feel me on that. But I think they are both very cute.

Dude, I own a Flannery O'Connor t-shirt. She's my favorite writer. What do you want to talk about?
