Thanks for the recs! Yeah, malnpudl mentioned Giles--it's funny, I spent a couple of days with her earlier this year, and she gave me a Fandom 101 viewing, where we watched one episode of Buffy and one of Highlander, both of which I enjoyed. I had seen neither before. I really am not much of a television watcher--if I watch alone I always have to make myself sit down and watch something. As opposed to reading, which is pretty much effortless.

I have not watched Flashpoint, no, but you're bumping it higher up the list! : )

I never really connected with Discworld? Or at least, Pratchett's style works best for me in small doses.
