it's almost as fun to read your reaction as it is to read it for the first time, P-C.

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 else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Personally, I'm surprised that the Gamemakers didn't rig Katniss's platform to "accidentally" blow up.

Because books.
P-C, I JUST got there! I took it to read during Sara's swimming lesson, and once again was almost in tears right there on the pool desk with the reveal of the transforming wedding dress and Peeta ad libbing Kat's pregnancy .
These books are going to kill me.

Jesus Christ, the Gamemakers are sadistic bastards. OMG THE FOG. And what the fuck THE CRAZY MONKEYS. I love that the arena is a clock, though. And as soon as Katniss figured it out, THEY SPUN IT AROUND BECAUSE THEY'RE DICKS. I am interested in the fact that everyone is trying to save Peeta. I was a little annoyed that the rebellion narrative was derailed by the Games, but I like that it's really continuing and making these Games a different sort of experience. Except I have no idea how it's going to end up this time. Is ita's boring, inconsequential Finnick going to survive too? Will Peeta? Will...Katniss? I mean, I wouldn't put it past Collins to kill off Katniss and have the third book narrated by Peeta, but I figure I would have heard about something that big. I'm about forty pages from the end and will finish the book today. Last night I left off with Katniss hearing the familiar screaming of...Prim. WHAT. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET ANY WORK DONE TODAY. I HATE YOU SUZANNE COLLINS.

“Not dead yet!”
My dream: to one day inspire that kind of impassioned reaction.
I won't, however, be holding my breath.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But this way is so much more fun, with the not knowing, and the glayvin.

Crap, I think P-C is about 20 pages ahead of me now. Must catch up!
