Wow.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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."

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
OK, I'm just off to Derbyshire.

Because books.
The Top Five Sexiest Writers, with the caveat that they are modern ones.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Top Five Sexiest Writers, with the caveat that they are modern ones.
Missed some obvious ones.
Edna O'Brien is famously babely.
John Irving (on the left, with his taller son) is also a looker and has the wrestler's physique.
He's also turned into a Silver Fox.
I also think Doris Lessing was pretty hot back in the fifties before she settled into her wise crone mode.
Caroline Blackwood was famous as a beauty before she was a writer.
Ted Hughes had the rough hewn thing.

“Not dead yet!”
Admittedly, my tastes run to the eccentric, but no Neil?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I know! I would have included Michael Chabon also...maybe Jonathan Lethem.

Yeah, the guy who did that piece really limited himself with five. And I was surprised Hughes wasn't on there, too. He was all broody and angsty, too.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I am currently listening to _The Strain_ whilst commuting and reading _13 bullets_ while at the gym. I should probably not be simultanously indulging in two different varieties of vampire lore...but....

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
How is Hughes = mayhaps gay! a little known fact?
Thought that was knowledge comma common.
