Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Philosophy; Fear And Trembling In Sunnydale, edited by James B. South
Great book so far, though I have to skip over the refrences to later seasons (I'm on five). It's interesting how many philosophical concepts can be applied to the Jossverse. Really makes you take a deeper look at the stories and characters.

Hello Alisa:
I just finished "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman. Not bad. No epic but has a good concept of the effects space travel has on time. With some interesting twists.
Would also recommend "Burning Bright" by Melissa Scott.
Have a good read.

Currently reading a pile of textbooks, which doesn't constitute fun. Unless you're kind of geeky, which I am.
For fun I'm reading "The Sorrow of War" by Bao Ninh. It's depressing, but good. I got halfway through "Middlesex", but had to stop because school started and I didn't have time for it. "Dark Star Safari" by Paul Theroux was fabulous.

Just finished re reading "To Kill a Mockingbird"... (Niece had to read it for school and I wanted to be able to talk to her about it... still a tremendous book.) Also finished "Suite Francaise" a late published WWII novel.... haunting.
Now reading "All the King's Men" before the movie...lol
next maybe Frazier's new book

Literally just finished reading:
Asterix and the falling Sky - Goscinny and Uderzo I've been reading those things since I was a kid and I still enjoy them :)
Also I'm in the middle of Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco
Nice topic :) I love books.

I'm a sucker for any of Harry Turtledove's alternative history books. At the moment, I'm reading Evil Genuis by Catherine Jinks.

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)
