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.

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

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

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.
