Or… …legends and all that shite . I just finished reading Emphyrio by Jack Vance. I enjoyed it. This was a detailed and intelligent read, which used plentiful complex language and ideas to convey the world, indeed, worlds within. I’m slightly troubled? Bemused? Interested? At the use of regression within the societies, it fits in with the story of the protagonist planet, here, but ...
On another note entirely, do you think that, on the model of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies , (a) Mansfield Park would be greatly improved if the Crawfords were vampires (sparkly ones, perhaps?) and (b) perhaps Harriet was not attacked by gypsies in Emma , but by werewolves?
Wow, I haven't updated my reading list in over a month. I've been reading like crazy too, so I have a lot to add. 1.

Enchanter's End Game by David Eddings (reread) 5. Temple of the Winds by Terry ...
I just read a nice little article on blanketing, since it's blanket season for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere (grumble). The highlights: -Horses that are clipped or kept in barns under light to discourage winter coat production should be blanketed when temperatures drop below 60*F or when it is windy or rainy. -Horses with a moderate hair coat can tolerate temperatures as low as 40*F....
1. I've been rereading some history_spork , and as usual, I come back feeling compelled to reccomend it to people who might not have checked it out yet. From Kingdom of Heaven : Godfrey: Follow me to the Holy Land. Directions: Go south until the people speak Italian, then go on until they speak differently... fourth_rose : ...because you're underwater. cutecoati : ......

Oops, I just realized that it was time for the first Parasha section, and I'd forgotten about it. So for now I'm just putting this place up for discussion, I'll have to edit in any summaries/comments I have later. Also feeling kinda "meh," so I'll probably be resting for a bit. But I at least wanted to get this up, for people to start discussing it. Edit: The introduction sets up Susan ...
I am going to Hell. This, we all know. One of my first sins came in the way of coveting. It wasn't another child's toy or even a siblings' article of clothes. It was a book. I read "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as a class requirement in elementary school. It was lumped into a book containing other stories my class was required to read. As a dyslexic, reading was never my friend growing up...
