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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I rolled my eyes a bit when Peter is given the lecture about being a man and the girls are soft tenderhearted rabbits. But I cry at the end. It's also interesting, the kids are about 8, 10, and 12 - they seem *much* younger in some ways.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wasn't E. Nesbit quite the sexy babe as well as having the scandalous, revolutionary lifestyle?

Re The Amber Spyglass, the part I was talking about was when Lyra and Pan got separated. Gah, so many tears!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think you're thinking of Evelyn Nesbit, the chorus girl (aka The Girl on the Swing) [link] . E. Nesbit the author looked like this: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
No, Edith Nesbit was herself rather an extravagant figure, a founder of the Fabian society and follower of Wm. Morris, in an open marriage, smoking and drinking and swanning about in the Victorian era.

Speaking of Pullman, has anyone read the Sally Lockhart trilogy? I just started the 3rd book ( The Tiger in the Well). They are not His Dark Materials, but they are really good. Too bad the covers are so unappealing.
