Not to be that guy on the internet, but did anyone copy-edit this article? It's so riddled with errors I couldn't finish reading it.

I oftentimes find it helpful with the Russians to keep a sheet of paper with all the characters, their relationships to each other, and all of the name variations that are used, so I can keep referring back to it when I get confused.

Bitter, vindictive, and crazy as hell? Hey-o!

Haven't, but I will check it out. I love books about poets (Pale Fire is just the best), so it seems like a good fit. I think I would have liked House of Holes better if he had pushed it further and made it dirtier.

I think Mrs Dalloway is my favorite book of all time. Liked Dune fine, but my feelings on it are tainted by the sequels, which were kind of awful.

Everyone in that novel is just the worst. I disliked it because everyone was just so awful. I complete dig the hell out of Anne Bronte—she really is the best Bronte.

Moonstone and Woman in White are both awesome. I liked Moonstone better, but that was also the first of his I'd read (and it was also for a class in college). I ended up liking it so much I based most of my final paper around it. Prisoner of Zenda has been on my to-do list for a while.

Another librarian chiming in to second this.

I keep holding off because I just want the damn cheapie paperback version, which they keep pushing back the release of. Look, those books get borrowed and lent so much there's no way I'm throwing down twenty or thirty bucks to something that's going to disappear the minute I finish it.

I really liked the Mezzanine, but wasn't that into House of Holes. Where does Traveling Sprinkler fall in that spectrum?

The ending of Gone Girl pissed me right off, because nobody behaves in a way that makes any sense. I can't wait to see what kind of train wreck the movie will be.

I remember really enjoying Special Topics in Calamity Physics, but it's one of those books I really couldn't tell you anything about now, a few years after finishing it.

Recently read Arthur Gordon Pym. Poor choice to read on a plane, what with all the suffocating small spaces and betrayals and terrible ship-based accidents. Goes to a weird racist place at the end, but it was still a good read.

Blood Meridian was a very difficult read. I'm glad I read it, but I don't know if I could handle a re-read. I feel the same about the Road. There are only so many scenes of dead babies that I can take.

If I wanted to read about dead babies, I'd read some Cormac McCarthy!

I'm finally getting to the Rise of Endymion. Took a long break after the first two, went back and tore through Endymion, but this last one is just… yeesh. There were a lot of dead babies in the chapter I read last night, so I went back to Agatha Christie again.

It's because it causes your nails to peel more if you file them while they're still wet. I remember this vividly, because I was so mad when I read that story and didn't know the answer. I was a girl! Girls are supposed to know things like that! How would a young boy know that, if I didn't?!?

Best breakup song ever. Love love love it. John and George fan myself.

Because of this, I'm always surprised when someone thinks I'm a punk rock girl. I've been friends with such self-serious punks that I can't even self-identify.
