After all the talk about Twilight and while I was just updating my visual bookshelf on Facebook I kind of want to read the Anita Blake series again. Not all of them, mind. To me there's a clear point where the books went from being interesting stories to just porn. Not that there's anything wrong with porn of course, I just like a decent plot as well as porn if I'm reading a novel. LOL

The last book in the series I remember not being annoyed with was Obsidian Butterfly so maybe I'll just read up to there

Not now though. Lots of unread books to get through first.

Incidentally Finding Serenity is a brilliant book. There's some really fascinating essays in there and some funny ones too. Last night I got to thinking about homosexuality in the Jossverse and I think I shall have to make a post later when I've got my thoughts on the subject sorted.

Yeah, I made the mistake of reading one of the books that came fairly late in the series and it was just one giant excuse for porn. And it wasn't even GOOD porn. It was like the same scenes over and over.

Yeah, lately it seems to boil down to how many were-animals can Anita get into bed at once. Last check it was 5. LOL!

LOL I know what you mean about the Anita!verse. Though, I still pick them up at the library. It's like watching a train wreck. You know you should turn away, but you can't!

The sex...I just shake my head and wonder about Anita (and Laurell too! LOL) Can she ever have sex with just one person AND not make it freaky, weird, and painful? I'm tired of painful!sex scenes.

I do wonder about Laurell a lot. The woman clearly has issues
