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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The first version of The Haunting - seriously scary.

I just finished The Somnambulist. Anyone else read it? The ending started to sag a little under the weight of all the influences and improbabilities, but the world-building was great. Also (decently big spoiler) any book that involves Zombie Samuel Taylor Coleridge is all right with me.

Damn.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I hesitate to bring it up, but I wish our book club here had been something like megan's.
We had a book club? Was it traumatic and I blocked it out of my memory?
IObookN, remember how I asked for Neal Stephenson recommendations to read at the beach?
All I read was comics. (Granted, it was 3 months' worth of comics, but still.)
So now I have Zodiac and Snow Crash staring accusingly at me.

That is quite possible.
