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."

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
I put up some old favorites, but I really mostly use Goodreads for tracking current reading and, more importantly, what I want to read.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Speaking of Goodreads and LibraryThing - here's my obligatory Allyson pimpery: if you have accounts on either or both, own a copy of Sam and love it, please make a note of it!
Your local indie publisher and royalty-starved yet awesome Buffista author will thank you.

Sox, I bought Machine of Death on the Amazon day (and used the buffista affiliate link!) but haven't had a chance to read it yet, so remind me and I'll loan it to you.

Thanks to the people who added me on Goodreads; I have friends there now! I also just made a feeble attempt to re-rate all the books I've read - I hand out five stars like candy. I just really like a lot of what I read.
Random question inspired by some books I was looking at in the library today: Is anyone a Discworld fan? I've read Good Omens, which I love, but that's only half Pratchett, and then we started reading Monstrous Regiment, one of the Discword books, in a class once but we didn't finish.
I think they would be books I'd very much enjoy but there's just so damn many of them, I wouldn't know where to begin.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Is anyone a Discworld fan?
I love Discworld. And coincidentally enough, I just went through the Watch books, which are as good a place to start as any. Otherwise, take a look at the reading order guide.
My favorites are Thief of Time and Hogfather. My first book was Lords and Ladies. Really, you can pick up any book and enjoy it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think they would be books I'd very much enjoy but there's just so damn many of them, I wouldn't know where to begin.
I highly recommend his Tiffany Aching books, about a girl witch's education.
The first one The Wee Free Men is both very good and very, very funny.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
This strikes me as being about us.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Reading _Feed_ and every time Buffy is mentioned i picture a teenage Penelope Garcia. I just can't help it.
