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!
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

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."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Those words should never be uttered except by Thurston Howell III.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
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?!?!?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
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.

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

Always Anti-fascist!
I liked "Catcher" a lot.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I liked both Catcher and the short stories. It's a shame he didn't write more.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's a shame he didn't write more.
He claimed he has, but he just didn't want to share it with anyone.
