Not really all that interesting. The Body is definitely my most favourite episode, and one of the best episodes on television, ranking up there with early West Wing, and Homicide: Life on the Street.
So many things were just so spot on about what you go through with a parent's death (yes, I realize it's different for everyone, but it seemed very true to me). I was utterly destroyed the first time I saw it. It was about 4 years after my dad died and I was still grieving, and this just...it didn't make me feel better (obviously), but I felt a little stronger, and I'm not sure why. Maybe because I thought it might help explain to other people around my age who hadn't gone through it what it was like. I dunno.
I read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vol. 1. I enjoyed it, but I'm going to be blasphemous and admit I enjoyed the movie more. Next up: the movie novelization.

Anya walks around the room a bit, aimlessly, then turns back.
ANYA: Are they gonna cut the body open?
WILLOW: (horrified) Oh my god! Would you just ... stop talking? Just ... shut your mouth. Please.
ANYA: What am I doing?
WILLOW: How can you act like that?
ANYA: Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? (looks from Willow to Xander) Is that the helpful thing to do?
XANDER: Guys...
WILLOW: The way you behave-
ANYA: Nobody will tell me.
WILLOW: Because it's not okay for you to be asking these things!
ANYA: (desperate) But I don't understand!
Willow and Xander look at her in surprise.
ANYA: (crying) I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she's, (sniffling) there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid. (still teary) And, and Xander's crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why.
She stops and puts her hand over her face, crying.
Willow has tears in her eyes too.
Xander goes over to Anya but she pushes him away, goes and sits down in a papasan chair by the window. Xander goes back to the doorway.
WILLOW: (to Anya) We don't know ... how it works... (Anya wiping her face with her hands) or why.

Griffen was so horrible half the time I was hoping that Hyde would rip him apart (if he could ever catch him). Quatermain's opium addiction was the most backstory that any of them seemed to get. The only character from the book I really enjoyed was that of Captain Nemo.
