Buffistas

Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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."

Maybe you should throw Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces in for discussion purposes?

Don't think I didn't look there first for ideas! I figure when we actually get around to the theme, I will be reading that since it's been unread on my book shelf for years.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Watership Down.

Oooh, good one. And a perfect excuse to re-read.

Because books.

Rabbit Hill was the only bunny book I ever got around to. Except for Beatrix Potter stuff. And the Max and Ruby books, thanks to Sara.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

No Bunnicula, Amy?!?! And The Celery Stalks at Midnight!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not exactly a classic, but Stephen King's novella "The Body" (later became the movie Stand By Me) fits the quest theme.

Oh, yes! I forgot! (Speaking of which, you have to read the bandom fic AU of Bunnicula, Sophia. Hysterical.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

When I reread Watership Down four years ago for the first time in 25 years, I was reminded of what a damn good story it is, a truly epic work.

Thanks for the great ideas!

The collection with "The Body" is the only Stephen King i've read. I know some of his stuff is dystopian--anything I should include on that list?
