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."

Terrific interview, Kate!! Lovelovelove this bit:
We’ve gone from looking at a desert, in which a librarian had to walk into the desert for you and come back with a lump of gold, to a forest, to this huge jungle in which what you want is one apple. And at that point, the librarian can walk into the jungle and come back with the apple. So I think from that point of view, the time of librarians, and the time of libraries—they definitely haven’t gone anywhere.
I'm sending the link to my Intro to Library Sciences classmates!

Great interview, Kate.
Loved this:
“Alfred Hitchcock, The Three Investigators. You only have one book in the series, but it says on the jacket there are 29 of them. How do we get the rest of them?”
He's such an AWESOME geek!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Your interview crashed it!
More importantly, Kate, do you have all 29 volumes of Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators?
