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."

Oh man, me too! Oh Steph I got an email from my brother today saying that the new Skullduggery book was winging it's way to me. Now that the kids are in school I have a better chance of getting my hands on it first yay!

I got an email from my brother today saying that the new Skullduggery book was winging it's way to me.
I ordered it from Amazon UK, and it's on its way, but the e-mail said the estimated delivery date is Sept. 21. I'm DYING here! IIRC, when I ordered book 4, the estimated delivery date was 3 weeks but it got here in more like 10-14 days. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

For me, the thing that got me into really liking Shakespeare was actually performing it. I was the Apothecary (and a roving vendor in the opening scene) in R&J in high school, and fell in love with the language and plotline. In college, my freshman lit prof made it a point to have us read the plays out loud when we got to WS, assigning us our parts for the day (when we read Lear, all the girls were fighting for Regan and Goneril!).

I told my bro that I'd pay for overnight shipping but he'd already sent it.

Ginger, we were going to go to the festival but now we are not. Next year, though!
Casper has a classmate named Cassius. He does not look especially learn or hungry. Whether or not he thinks to much and is dangerous is yet to be seen.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Boys are dangerous, pretty much by definition. But it's more likely because of not thinking, not thinking too much.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Someone needs to put together a computer program to search for Shakespeare quotes by play so we can know for sure which is the most quoted. I would say Hamlet if I was familiar with more than just the plays Slings & Arrows covered.

Next year, though!
You should. They've got a lot for kids, including a parade each morning. I think I'd like to see the flamenco version of Ferdinand the Bull myself, but I'm pretty much tied to venue I'm running. If you change your mind, I'll be looking harried in the Holiday Inn conference center.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Casper has a classmate named Cassius.
Seriously? That's like naming your daughters Goneril and Regan (which I remember some Buffista mentioning). Trouble right there (in River City).
I would name a cat Cassius, though.
