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."

In the way every dark cloud having a sparkly lining, if Meyer hadn't written her craptastic books we'd never have gotten these:

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

sigh ... I got a coupon from Barnes & Noble in email - the subject line promised 40% off. So I eagerly opened the message, had to scroll past all kinds of stuff, and found ut that the coupon WAS for 40% off ... on anything from their Twilight Collection.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, I've finished Justine Larbalestier's Liar. Anyone else read it?

I don't know what to think.

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

Hm, that sounds like something I'd like. I heart unreliable narrators.

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

Just curious...Anybody a fan of Katherine Anne Porter?

It's unreliable upon unreliable. It starts out with the narrator saying that she's a liar, but she wants to tell the truth now, no really. So everything she says is a potential lie. It makes my head hurt.

Because books.

I've been meaning to pick it up, Steph, because I read a few different blogs about the cover controversy. Haven't yet, though.

Disappointing? Not good?

In a good way?

I've been wanting to read Bad Monkeys for a while, which is similar, I think.

I came across these gorgeous editions while looking for Dickens on Amazon and now find myself ordering books I'm not even sure I would buy otherwise.
