So, H and I ran a couple errands this afternoon. I needed to pick up my copy of Supernatural Origins #3. The first comics store I found locally was in one of the sleeper communities west of town, and the people there have been so nice I've continued to drive all the way out there to pick up my copies, although I've found a couple places closer. Still have to drive, so what's another 15 miles? On our way over, we stopped at Barnes & Noble to pick up a copy of this book:




It's a very funny book, shining a merciless and funny light on the whole incestuous relationship between teevee and internet fandom, entertaining and wittily told. The author is a friend who can be wickedly observant and amazingly perceptive, and I've been waiting patiently to get my hands on a copy. It's not available anywhere else for a few weeks, so get to your closest B&N and claim one for your very own!

This sounds very interesting... especially since we participate so readily in this internet fandom phenomenon. Have to drive acrosss town to a B&N, though...

Thanks for the recc!

You'll love it, it's incredibly snarky. And sweet. But snarkily sweet.

I helped beta for her, and helped urge her to find an agent and submit it to publishers, I'm one of the faceless and nameless Buffistas in it, I know most of the people she writes about, and have met a lot of them in person. But, even if I didn't know her, it's a fabulous book, with a really informed, perceptive view of fandom.
