Finding Serenity

Thursday, July 13, 2006 7:35 AM

I read a book today. It was a vastly interesting non-fiction. And that is something I rarely find and even more rarely look for. But this was different. It is a collection of essays about our favorie 'verse. The writers of these essays are all quite respectable and accomplished.

I will not hesitate to say that some of these essays irked me to no end. I had to wonder if some of the writers were really fans at all. Perhaps they weren't.

Some of these essays peeved me to no end. Some had rather blantant errors. One claimed that River shot three men in the episode 'Ariel'. Another called Wash, Jerry Lee 'Wash' Warren, for no apparent reason.

Many of the essays amused me to no end. I laughed aloud many a time, eliciting odd glances from my coworker.

All of the essays challenged me to think harder about Joss creation. Allowed me a clearer view of things. I feel that every Browncoat should get their hands on a copy of this book to free their minds. It is a thrilling experience.

The book is 'Finding Serenity' and is edited by Jane Espenson (you might recall her name, she wrote 'Shindig')
