31 Shows You Loved And Lost. There are quite a few shows (like Skin—not to be confused with Skins) on that list that I haven’t heard of before.
According totv_shows_on_dvd, Real Ghostbusters may be coming to DVD. Apparently, a multi-disc set may have a fall release, but it won’t be from Sony. And if that page is right, there might also be a new animated series in the works.
Out of curiosity, any ideas for who would work for a PB for Dryad?
There’s a Torchwood related ficathon over attw_exchange, and the prompts can be found here.
And now, a book meme taken from quite a few people on my friends list.
The books listed below are "the top 106 books most often marked as 'unread' by LibraryThing’s users."
What I’ve read is in bold, what I haven't read is in plaintext, and what I never actually finished reading all the way through--not yet, anyway--is struck through.

I read The Three Musketeers in my senior year of high school, and did a research paper comparing the time period of the novel with how things actually were. It was 20 pages, the teacher (who was notorious for making students go back and revise something up to 20 times--not an exaggeration) loved it, and I never got it back (the grade was something like 110/100 or 115/100, I’m not sure anymore) from her. Reportedly, she wanted to show others how it should be done.
