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."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
There's only five books in the series (plus a short story collection), so it's not such a huge time investment. Plus, they're good! You should read them in order, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They're on to us!

Y'know, did they name internet critic names? Cause I don't think I've seen that, and also feel the desire to punch some dillhole in the nads.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't know about that.
He is also a friend of author Neil Gaiman, and he and his wife appear in Gaiman's short story "The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch", collected in Fragile Things.
If he did say that, it may have been completely in jest and taken out of context. Also, what, he is not an Internet critic! He is a BBC personality!
Also, that poster and I disagree on the American Gods plot twist, because it totally slipped by me and I thought it was awesome and hilarious even though I felt stupid.

Not surprisingly, you and I are alike on this. I got to that point in the book and thought, oh my god, it was RIGHT THERE! How did I miss it?
