Buffistas

Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Discussion Threads

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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I have discovered that Hoopla has all the Brother Cadfael mysteries in audiobook, most of them read by Patrick Tull, who is my VERY FAVORITE narrator (except for Stephen Briggs, who is the perfect Discworld narrator). Except for some reason Hoopla is missing A Morbid Taste for Bones, which is the first one.

... anyway, if anyone needs something reassuring and well-written, with mostly-happy endings, find yourself some Brother Cadfael, by Ellis Peters.

Ooh, I keep forgetting about Hoopla. I love Ellis Peters but have not explored the audiobook versions…

Eta: A Morbid Taste for Bones is available through my Contra Costa library card, which any Californian is eligible for although you might have to physically go to a branch to get one…
