There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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."

Connie, I'll email ya!

sj, agreed on the enjoyment and the liking the parallels. What would you think of him revisiting them down the road and having it told from Angie's point of view?

I love love love Angie, and I think I would adore a story as told by her. I also wouldn't be opposed to a story about Bubba, although it would be considerable darker. Or a story about an adult Gabby who has both of her parents qualities and their inability to stay out of trouble.

I like all of those ideas!! I don't think Lehane should write anything else. He should just write stuff about Patrick, Angie, Gabby, Bubba and Amanda forever! :)

I read Gud's Discipline on my Nook! I loved it! I like the voice and I liked the protagonist a lot.

Thanks! Now if B&N would just fix the author information. Maybe I need to figure out a way to contact them aside from customer support.

The status is NOT quo.

Hey, literaristas! Want to help me design a new senior English seminar? I'm proposing one called "Poetry, Prose, and Passion" that explores great literature from around the world (but not too much focus on American since they've just had a year of AmLit). So far I have Lolita, Hamlet, and Angels in America. Other ideas?
