Because it was there

[nineveh_uk]

I have put Gaudy Night in lolcats (although not, I stress, with actual cats). On the plus side, I am much more technologically adept than I was yesterday.

I LOL'D. (I prefer that spelling, feeling it give lolcat a nice 18th century touch)

I think YOU should be U, though.

Also, the river one reminds me - have you read To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis? It contains Harriet and Peter references galore!

That along with the Mary Russell series introduced me to Peter. And once I read the actual book... "PETER took Harriet to feed the DUCKS!"

I think I might have read them that way round, too! (Not read the Mary Russell books, though.)

TSNOTD is wonderful (tho' I wish the editor had given the Irish servant girl and sister names other than Colleen and Gladys, unless these are subtle clues that in fact the two of them are not-very-good historians themselves) - in fact, it was mention of TSNOTD on the internet before I'd read it that was one of the factors in introducing me to Sayers, because I thought (a) Sayers sounds good and (b) if I read Gaudy Night I can read this other fabulous-sounding work. The cats! And the penwipers!

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Aargh, no! ::covers brains protectively::

[lyras.livejournal.com]

TSNOTD is my ultimate comfort read - it's like a really good comedy of manners, but with extra literary allusions thrown in. And the cats are such a lovely touch!

*IZ EMBAZZED LIEK WOAH*

I cannot believe we share DNA. Although the case closed part is rather splendid and should be turned into an icon forthwith.

[antisoppist.livejournal.com]

Oh glory, glory, glory!

Can't decide between Do Not Want (backless dress) and Kissing Ur Girl.

(here from tree and leaf from loltheologians, I think)

[cofax7]

Oh, awesome.

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Ta! And now with prequel... (http://nineveh-uk.livejournal.com/32899.html#cutid1)

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Much as I am unmoved by Rupert Brooke hagiography, I will admit that the man looked like the young Apollo on a good hair day

(And now Strong Poison... (http://nineveh-uk.livejournal.com/32899.html#cutid1))

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Some sins cry out to be committed... (http://nineveh-uk.livejournal.com/32899.html#cutid1) And thanks!

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

I think it pretty much sums up the whole book!

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Forgot to say, that is an adorable icon, and also thanks for the rec.

Forthcoming - it has been so for a while, so I really ought to get on with it!

[curuchamion.livejournal.com]

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

It did! (http://nineveh-uk.livejournal.com/37842.html#cutid1)
