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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Gar.

Eta: I just found that! Intriguing.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'd like to read the "Grave Sight" series, but I'm waiting till the first one comes out in paperback. Or I can find it at a UBS.

I've read all the Sookie books -- they are entertaining, but light. Sometimes Sookie annoys me, but her character develops in the series as you read along.

Good poolside or Sunday afternoon reading, IMO.

Good lord. One of the blogs I read quoted this today:

From John Updike's Brazil:

"Standing with her [Isabel] in the warming waterfall, soaping her skin so its yielding silk was overlaid with a white grease, and then letting her soap him [Tristão] in turn, he felt his cashew become a banana, and then a rippled yam, bursting with weight."

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

What the fuck?

I think the world has run out of penis metaphors.

"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

I'm pretty horrified that "bursting" is used as a descriptive before they actually get to the sex, let alone finish it. Sounds painful.
