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."

Hec, is Wesley Stace also John Wesley Harding?

I have a vague memory of something of the sort.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

sumi, yep. He sings (as John Wesley Harding) in the group that I mentioned (the Love Hall Tryst) on the companion CD.

What is even happening?

I don't know enough Peanuts to really parse this conversation, I'm afraid.

First Pooh, now Peanuts? Sheeesh, poor Gris. Were you raised under a rock?

Yep. [link] The whole group is John Wesley Harding, Kelly Hogan, Nora O'Connor, and Brian Lohmann.

Hey. New board.

Sheeesh, poor Gris. Were you raised under a rock?

I was raised in the 80s. By the time I was looking at comic strips, Peanuts was WELL past its peak. Calvin and Hobbes was my love.

I liked the movie that Charlie Brown was in the spelling bee, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Gris, I was raised in the 80s too. And the Peanuts talk made me click around in Wikipedia to refresh my memory, and I was surprised by how much I'd been exposed to the characters. I don't really like the strip much because it's not that funny and it spoiled Citizen Kane for me, but it's so much of a cultural thing.

move out and draw fire

it spoiled Citizen Kane for me

Heh. I remember reading that strip when I was like 4, and totally not getting it. But the spoilage for Citizen Kane is so pervasive I can't blame Peanuts.

(And being raised in the 80s doesn't excuse the lack of Pooh)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

My father collected the books, back in the day, so I know the print version quite well. However, I just within the past few years saw the Christmas Special for the first time, and I still haven't seen any of the others (that I recall). I may be Sally, but mostly by default.

I make no excuses for that. Well, other than "My parents didn't read it to me." Not sure why - I got plenty of other books.
