Banned books are so fascinating. And House of Leaves, omg, I love that book!

Kissing librarians! I suppose I will just have to kiss myself then!

I am so in love with House of Leaves.

Nonsense. Just check your breath and wait for people to line up to kiss you. :-)

HOUSE OF LEAVES IS SO GOOD. but don't ever read that shit without every light you have turned on. also don't listen to Philip Glass. honestly, you will have heart attack and be pulled into the black abyss inside your house that you never noticed. true story.

also The Egypt Game was so great. or it was when I read it in like elementary school lol.

oh and I'm about to start reading some Neil Gaiman (Stardust was what was available when I went to the library) soon. I'm hoping to love it.

I like Stardust, but it's not my favorite of his books. Bekkah is borrowing my copies of Sandman (which is my favorite thing of his ever, although technically they are graphic novels). I also have American Gods, Anansi Boys (its sequel), Good Omens (which he wrote with Terry Pratchett), Coraline, and The Graveyard Book. Oh and I have a couple of his short story collections (dude he wrote a Sherlock Holmes story set in an HP Lovecraft AU!). So if you want to borrow one of those, let me know.

AND YOU WILL LOVE NEIL GAIMAN OR I WILL CUT YOUR HEART OUT WITH A SPOON.

lol I guess I'd better get on that. I was hoping to read Good Omens but it wasn't in when I was there. ideally I'll get through them all, even though I have to make Jacob check things out for me now. by god I will make him recall them if I have to! if I have more to get through when I see you in November I might ask to borrow some.

man if you think apartments can't be evil, you should come see some of my old places!
