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."

Ann, that's a ferret.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

It was a real killer.

"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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Glam, that was sad, but I thought it made no sense and was very confused about why she wasn't dying, so that distracted from the emotional context.

Ah, when William Morris meant Communism and not Talent Agents. Those were the days.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Sorry. I remember a few months ago when someone was looking for pictures with a certain look, and I posted one of Evelyn Nesbit, somebody responded with something like, "Wow, I had no idea when I was reading her children's books that she was such a sexy babe," so I figured it was the same mistake again.

Huh, it made sense to me. They had talked about people being separated from their daemons and not dying before it happened.

I must have missed that, Glam. It was a major point made in the first book that you die if you're separated from your daemon. I thought it was a really cool idea, and then he just threw it out in the third book.
