I hate to meme you and leave you...

This is going to be a bit of a link, meme, thank you ma'am type of post. I just finished watching the season (and series?) finale of Robin Hood and will probably post about it at some point - perhaps in a post called 'How to lose viewers and alienate your fanbase, all in one 13-episode season'. Right now, however, it's meme time. This one's swiped from [livejournal.com profile] boojumlol.

Don’t take too long to think about it.
Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you.
First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
Copy the instructions into your own post.



1. His Dark Materials trilogy, by Philip Pullman. (I'm treating it as one entry, but if I had to pick one, I'd say Northern Lights.)
2. Parkland by Victor Kelleher.
3. The Beast of Heaven by Victor Kelleher.
4. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
5. The Girls in the Velvet Frame by Adele Geras.
6. Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice.
7. Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges.
8. Darkwitch Rising by Sara Douglass.
9. American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
10. Buile Shuibne by an anonymous medieval Irish writer or writers.
11. Either Catilina's Riddle by Steven Saylor or Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden.
12. Collected essays and journalism of George Orwell.
13. Of Nightingales That Weep by Katherine Paterson.
14. Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
15. Romanitas by Sophia McDougall.

Here come the links.

First up, I wrote a post on Longvision about the imagined modern-day Roman Empire of Sophia McDougall's Romanitas series.

The ever-wonderful [livejournal.com profile] elle_vee has written a great post about fandom rules. She also posted a link (from WorldOfWonder) to Michael Bay's keyboard. I thought it was hilarious.

I don't exactly feel up to the task of writing about Michael Jackson, but luckily, the author of one of my favourite blogs has done it for me.

Finally, to lighten the mood, have this fabulous clip which mashes Buffy and Twilight (with logical conclusion).
