Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The Anti-Poem Love

Iambic pentameter. Haiku and prose. Free verse and doggerel. Sonnets and odes.

Couplets and cinquain. I’ll sit and I’ll write it. Cacophony, quatrain. But I don’t have to like it.

I like the Anti-Poem.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I hate writing this poem

Let alone two

I'm so making a crosstitch sampler with that on it.

(Meaning I have to learn crosstitch, first...)

Has anyone read any of the books in this io9.com article?

The fact that they explicitly call out the fact that some of the protagonists are gay makes me want to read them, but only if they come with reasoned, non-hype reviews from people whose opinions I trust (i.e. you Buffistas, not a website who lists one of its contributors in the article).

Danke!

StuntHusband, if you want to read noir fantasy, I recommend Rosemary and Rue.

P-C, thanks - but I'm interested in the queer fiction, not noir fantasy. That's why I asked about the books in that article.
