Ordenando un poco los libros en mà casa, me he dado cuento que tengo un buen porrazo de ellos leÃdos solamente hasta la mitad, y no por que no me gustasen… b·sicamente en algËn momento mientras los estaba leyendo, empecà a dedicarle tiempo a otra cosa y se me olvidà que los tenÃa sin terminar, tal vez sea debido a que mezclo libros sin leer, a medio leer y leÃdos por todas las esquinas de la casa. Ahora me he puesto a terminar estas cosas que tengo a medias, b·sicamente para dar un sentido de que al menos consigo terminar algo.
«Finding Serenity» lo habÃa comenzado a leer el verano pasado, pero lo dejà a medias cuando me marchà a Italia 3 meses.

-Joss Whedon Firefly’s early demise left fans with a deep sense of loss and plenty of unasnwered questions. From what was wrong with the pilot to what was right with the Reavers, from the use of Chinese to how correspondence between Joss and network executives might gone, from a philosopher’s perspective on «Objects in Space» to a sex therapist’s analysis of Inara. Finding Serenity is filled with writing as exciting, funny and enthralling as the show itself.

Mercedes Lackey on the nature of freedom in Firefly
Roxxanne Longstreet Conrad on how the crew of Serenity could kick the Enterprise crew’s butts any day
Leigh Adams Wright on the fate of the ‘Verse’s Chinese people
