Buffistas

Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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."

OK, is it a serial post if it's days later?

I don't know why this surprises me, but I just discovered that people are getting the Phaedre's tattoo from the Kushiel series: [link]

(except for one person who randomly got a happy drow goddess from D&D with the motto from the book)

Because books.

Wow, those are some big, expensive tattoos.

Some of those tattoos are really really beautiful.

Pity about the novel they're based on (I really disliked it and had to put the first one down about 200 pages in).

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

You didn't see the guy with a Stargate on his back at Comic-Con.

Was it a fully operational Stargate? Cause that would rock!

No one attempted to enter his back.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Anybody know how to find out-of-print plays? I'm looking for a copy of "A Flag is Born." I've been reading a bunch of articles about it lately (it's the 60th anniversary), and now I'm curious to read it, since the only part that any article quotes is one speech from the end. Google is giving me no help, and I'm not sure where else to look. (I'm also pretty sure that an original copy would be ridiculously expensive -- I know that the play has been produced a few places in the past year, so there's got to be somewhere printing it. I'm just not sure if there's anywhere that sells single copies.)

Hil, there are copies in university libraries all over. RLIN didn't like when I searched by title, but when I used the publisher "American League for a Free Palestine" and "flag" as a title word, a bunch of entries came up.

Thanks, Sparky! I hadn't even thought of libraries.

Hmm. None of the libraries in the Washington Region catalog have it. I'll talk to my university librarian about ILL or something. (Although I just remembered that I'm not allowed to take out books because I have too many fines. I should probably take care of that before trying to find this.)

Always Anti-fascist!

Ok, so if I'm "the new guy" in a book group, and they want my suggestions, how much me should go into that? Should I know the book well? Not at all?
