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."

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"

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

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.

She totally is. And more foxy silver.

Throw them at me as you find them. My silverfox site is unisex. And mostly Mark Harmon and John Slattery.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
