I finished my Zombie Survival Guide/World War Z double-feature. Two undead thumbs up!
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."
Ugh, i just finished _The Vampire Diaries_. Ugh. Can i say ugh enough? I mean, i was expectecting trash but it truly went above and beyond in the final book. Angels, Malachs and Kitsunes in a wild jumble of non-sensicle-ness, like the author did some research and just tossed in handfuls of "other" for shits and giggles. Beyond unfulfilling.
Oh yeah, the newest Vampire Diaries book is godawful! I've never actually flinched at wording in a book before, but when Stephan called Elena "lovey love" that's exactly what I did. I will definitely not be continuing with *that* series!
Those words should never be uttered except by Thurston Howell III.
Yeah, i could deal with sacrificing herself and then coming back as a being of energy. I couldn't handle the angel rubbish. "wings of purification" my ass. Damon is no fun purified! What's the point in vampire with pure souls?!?!?
What's the point in vampire with pure souls?!?!?
Well it is a change from vampires with unpure, angsty souls, but that's about all.
So, I guess I won't bother reading the Vampire Diaries.
I never read Catcher in the Rye but I'm a big Franny & Zooey fan.
Also, I love that The Royal Tenenbaums is so thoroughly Salingeresque.
I liked "Catcher" a lot.
