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."

FYI: today's Groupon is $10 for $20 at Barnes & Noble. They are, however, slammed right now, and people can't log in through the main site. (You can log in through their backup site -- my. groupon. com.)

I like Colette's Cheri, and Marguerite Duras' The Lover -- although The Lover is definitely a novel, although it is a slim one. It's very dense.

You beat me to posting about it. I was able to get through just now on the boston groupon site.

I'm wondering if there are enough classics, or contemporary classics, to do a "Food and Drink" theme for the salon. I can think of a number of movies that revolve around meals or food, but the only obvious novel that comes to mind is Zola’s The Belly of Paris. Ideas?
I’d also like to do something on “Royals and Rulers.” Can people recommend other books along the lines of Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel?

Hemingway's early stories often have a good food scene. Usually cooked over a fire while camping or something.
Wasn't Babbette's Feast originally a novel?

It really was. Babbette, Big Night and Tampopo are my fav food movies.

I don't know if it's just me, but every time I get magical crab, I think, "Dang. I should've gotten the enchanted lobster."
