Last Call is one of my favorite books ever. Although I am also very fond of On Stranger Tides.
Powers is very hit-and-miss for me; when he's on, nobody is as rich and strange. When he's off, he's offputting.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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 have a coupon for 20% off any book for Borders. . . I'm thinking that Jonathan Strange might be fun to purchase at 20% off.

It's 20% off the regular price, though. Isn't it already at 30% off, being new?

What did you think of The Stress of Her Regard?

Impressed by the effort and the obvious research, didn't enjoy the narrative. Come to think, I'd rather read his sources than his novel.

I don't know -- I don't actually spend that much time at Borders.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Dang, missed the Bujold palaver when it was fresh. I will confess a great disappointment when I discovered that she was thinking of being in the romance genre. The notion that an author is targeting a marketing niche disturbs me. I think I get the reality that a product has to be a recognizable commodity to be attractive in the market.
I just wish this did not apply to my reality escape.

No no, she means the novel never forgets.
