If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

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."

I'd put The Handmaid's Tale in Religious. Would John Wyndham's The Chrysalids fit?

Windfollower by Carole McDonnell would fit in either religious or colonialism.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, the "book" books are pretty centered on reading or writing.
Then Anne of Green Gables or Emily of New Moon would definitely fit. Emily would probably be better than Anne, actually.

Ann, that's a ferret.
In the war category, I'd add John Del Vecchio's The 13th Valley. Follows an infantry unit in the Vietnam War.

It has worked pretty well so far (esp. the quests and horror discussions), especially for discovering new things I want to read. I think it might work online if we had a dedicated thread for the monthly conversation.
