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."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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

Oh, cool, I'm glad you liked it. Did you get it directly off B&N?

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?

“Not dead yet!”

How about a Julia Alvarez or Isabelle Allende title?

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

For something French you could do Cyrano de Bergerac or even Les Liaisons dangereuses. Or Mérimée's novella Carmen.
