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."

Darn UPS. They left me a notice rather than a book.

Darn UPS. They left me a notice rather than a book.
And yet they double park their trucks everywhere impeding my commute.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The notice left you really depressed. You didn't hate it though.

Yesterday UPS didn't even make a second attempt and I had my signed notice on my door and everything. Fingers crossed that they bother to attempt to deliver today.

John Hodgeman tweets that he is reading A Game of Thrones and somebody tells GRRM who posts it on his lj leading to this fun comment from a fan:
"Hi, I'm a Lannister."
"And I'm a Stark."
"I'm bloodthirsty and ruthless."
"And I'm noble and- AAAAIIIIGGH!"
Which I've spoiler fonted for ah, fairly non-specific spoilage.

The status is NOT quo.
OMG Hunger Games. I stayed up half the night earlier this week finishing it, and now I'm halfway through the second. So amazing!

I want to figure out how Collins makes so compulsively readable a book that has so. many. problems. Seriously: the world-building makes no sense, it's depressingly gender-essentialist and heteronormative, and the logistics are right out of fairy tales.
And yet I can't stop reading them because she's got the thriller pacing down so well!
If I could just nibble off that part of Collins brain, she could keep the rest. Want.
