I just finished Bring Up the Bodies! It was excellent.
Now I'm starting in on the Forsyte Saga, and then Emile Zola's Nana, Charlotte Bronte's Shirley, and maybe I'll even get around to Cloud Atlas…

Abby Elliott's creepy girl had shades of her Zooey Deschanel impression for me, which makes perfect sense as the type Ted would be into.

No, it's Jason Cole. J. Cole. AHAHAHA SO CLEVER AMIRITE

I agree on both counts (all three counts?). Blueberry + Lemon = Yum.

Oh, gosh, now I'm all nostalgic and teary-eyed.

Not really? You don't even meet Darcy for a lot of it, and when you do he seems more awkward than anything, and their relationship is almost painful in its lack of chemistry the first few times he appears. As they get to know each other, obviously they've gotten along better, but there's no Lingering Glances or…

No, but no one but you will notice.

I have a SIGNED copy of that book somewhere. Best thing ever.

But the idea that girls can't be nerds because they get pursued by guys romantically—I've, speaking of course from personal experience, and thus risking a generalization, found to be untrue. I'd describe most of my friends as nerdy girls, and most of us have…

@avclub-0ae7484a9f3bbd2a21df420050c032ae:disqus Interesting, about the RR thing. And I do agree with you that Tasha's review was fair/it makes sense for a LOTR-lover to review the Hobbit. In fact, as someone who enjoyed the books and movies myself, I'm glad of that perspective.
