what in the who now?

+ In department of 'omg this had better be a totally unfounded rumour': Fox to commission a RTD-penned US remake of Torchwood? WHAT. And I am just not thinking about how I would feel if it did turn out that RTD did indeed blow up his old show then go and make a brand new shiny one. May this never come to pass!

+ In happier news, queerlit50 is starting up, similar to 50books_poc. Read some queer authors! Tell me about them! :D My reading list for the next few weeks includes Sarah Waters' Fingersmith, Mary Renault's The Persian Boy, and Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint, so I will probably chat about those over there.

+ Also, oxoniensis's ninth porn battle is taking prompts.

+ eta: Also! The help_haiti auction closes in just over 24 hours. There's a lot of things still available over there very reasonably, and everything's all listed and indexed so it's easy to find something you might like.

Re. the second item on your list, if you haven't read Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty, I would recommend it!

You know, that has been sitting on my shelf for the longest time - I watched the BBC mini-series and loved it! I think I am unconsciously saving it for when I have some time to really dig in, which alas is not for a while. (Silly academia.) But your rec pushes it up the list!
