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."

Yup. [link]

Apparently Disney created a band based on the series of novels and then created movies around the band. Umm, I guess I'm not helping....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A neighbor just recced this to me and I'm wondering if anyone's read it.

Mieville's been on my TBR list forever and I've just never gotten around to him. This one sounds really intriguing, though.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Jessica, that is one of the books I'm reading now, and I am enjoying it.

Because books.

Six other children's books that should be made into movies ... sort of.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Six other children's books that should be made into movies ... sort of.

Yes - someone posted that in Movies, and a few of us decided we just HAD to see David Lynch's Make Way for Ducklings.

Because books.

I cross-posted it! And yes, I completely agree.

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

I had not imagined Sara Paretsky looked like this.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Not to be all buffista, but her hair has changed.

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

I think it's more flattering now than here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sara Paretsky, Silver Fox, check.
