It's a real burden being right so often.

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."

“Not dead yet!”

Admittedly, my tastes run to the eccentric, but no Neil?

Always Anti-fascist!

I know! I would have included Michael Chabon also...maybe Jonathan Lethem.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Lethem with cool glasses

Because books.

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.

I didn't know that about Hughes. I didn't know it about Kerouac, either, though.

Possibly, I view the world through LGBT lenses. My world contains much of the queer knowledge!

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

Man, I just discovered one of my co-workers was gay. I never know these things.

Thrive to spite them

Has anyone read The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman?

I started it and I'm not sure I want to finish, it's weird I don't like the main character very much but I don't think you are supposed to but I'm torn about wanting to see if she turns out better. I was wondering if I was the only one with that reaction.
