snarpFrom an email I sent to Mom today:
Yesterday I was in a used bookstore and saw the first five volumes of the comic book Bone for sale half-off. You may remember it as the extremely thick comic book - 1300 pages - that I'd borrowed from the library which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thegeekgene* managed to read all of on the drive to see, I think, U of Chicago and Beloit. She finished it up as you guys were dropping me off back at the dorm.
I had been thinking about re-reading it, and I'd rather have the multi-volume color version than the one-volume black-and-white, so I got them. Todaythegeekgene texted me wanting to know if I'd ever actually bought a copy. Clearly her long-latent psychic powers are finally emerging. Or else mine are. Possibly both. Tests will be necessary.

* I do not actually refer tothegeekgene by her LiveJournal name in correspondence with her mother. Though Mom reads my blog and knows our screen names, so far as I know she does not herself have a LJ, or even a DW (though I hold that getting them would probably aid her in her eternal quest for like, Lensman slash, or Foundation slash or whatever kind of prehistoric slash it is that she's reading over there). The convention would not, therefore, be appropriate. I feel certain that Miss Manners would agree.

yuletidetreasure.org/archive/18/cfe.html -- it's got R. Daneel together with all-too-H. Lije, a murder-mystery set in the bleakness of spaaaace (wherefore hurt/comfort), and though it certainly is NSFW, is way more smarmily focused on emotional anchors and subtextual satisfaction.
HOWEVER, concerning the probability of encountering

But ANYWAYS, I think that even the most hardcore Mindscrew!OTP Mannis monoshipper ought to find a good read in this super old school, practically canonical, and inevitably germy-cuddle-filled, romance with occasional -- just please be careful about clicking on links at the hosting website :-)!
