Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

Our wings are not tired.

Also, and I know this is blasphemy, but like J.D. Robb's stuff, there was too much sex. I got bored and started skimming.

I don't know what's wrong with me, since I cut my sex teeth on Judith Krantz and the like and couldn't get enough back then...BUT I hate sex scenes in books now. I mean, if I am picking up Anais Nin, then of course I want to read sex. But I noticed how much I hated it when I was reading the Patrick/Angie Lehane books.

Or maybe I just didn't want to read Lehane-written sex scenes. Hmmm. Must ponder.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

they should have gotten Cronenberg to direct it.

That's a very good point.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think he already has.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Yeah, but not with swoony, dippy teen angst!

Because books.

One of my biggest problems with Twilight (and resultant phenomenon) is that it made irrationally peeved by Cedric Diggory.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I know! We rewatched Goblet of Fire not long ago, and when Cedric came onscreen I actually "tch"ed. H asked what was wrong, and I just did the handwave dismissy thing. Totally my issue, he didn't need to be distracted.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I didn't mind the sex scenes in the Lehane books.

Whenever I see Cedric I imagine Daniel Radcliffe complaining about his craxy fans and I have a little chuckle.

Like I said, I think there's something wrong with me. I was wondering if I was getting prudish in my old age. But I don't think that's it, since I have no qualms about actual sex taking place in the world. I just don't want to read about it in the middle of a mystery/murder maybe? Idunno.
