You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

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

In a move guaranteed to piss off librarians and bookstore employees everywhere, Nov 18th is International Science Fiction Reshelving Day:

Join us this November in a new and unique celebration of science fiction and fantasy literature. Many books from our fine genre are regularly placed in the wrong section of bookstores. This not only hides the books from us, but it prevents readers of those books from discovering the rich tradition to which they belong.

On November 18th that changes. We will go to bookstores around the world and move science fiction and fantasy books from wherever they might be to their proper place in the “Science Fiction” section. We hope that this quiet act of protest will raise awareness of this problem and inspire new readers to explore our thought-provoking genre.

Oh, dear. That really would be a nightmare for the poor employees if people actually do it.

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

I just read that there's going to be a prequel to P&P&Z, as well as maybe a sequel.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Amy, yes! I loved it and could barely put it down. Can't wait for the third book to come out next year!

Hey. New board.

I come to the thread requesting help identifying a book:

I read it a couple of years ago. It is contemporary adult fiction with a young (8 years old, about) female protagonist. I believe it's set in England, but I could be wrong. She attends a school where she is learning Chinese, I remember that. I loved the style - it was written from the girl's perspective, and it captured the style of a young person by using long words occasionally in completely wrong ways, among other things.

I liked it. I don't remember the name. I want it. Any help?

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

For the serious fan, a well researched look into How to Survive a Stephen King story.
