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."

Because books.

You just have to remember, she's essentially a ghostwriter who just got to use her own name, though.

It sucks, but she's really being classy about it.

The new books were horrible though. Horrible! Kind of excited about The Secret Circle tv series though!

Someone needs to help The Tolkein Professor with that website problem.

I know. I hate it when sounds start up as soon as a site opens.

The new books were horrible though. Horrible!

I know. The first ... four? Were entertainingly cheesy. But the latest ones are just ew.

What was weird was that I turned on my sound to watch the video on the copycat covers site, not really focusing on the fact that I'd opened the TP page in another tab.

So I got a very thoughtful and crunchy dissertation on the way a narrative is built while watching a cover being composited.

If you're looking for some other good Tolkein discussion, my online friend Kate Nepveu did a chapter-by-chapter reread of LotR for the Tor.com site: [link]

It's quite a great discussion, with some cool arguments in the comments. I'm waiting for her to post her commentary on the last movie, as well.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

personally, i think all the VD books are terrible. i'm still amazed someone read them and thought they'd make a good series.

Note to a certain writer of "humorous" fantasy and SciFi. Yes I know that many writers do more research than their fiction requires. But you are definitely doing too little research if you are writing a Japanese character and the only character name you can come up with is "Sushi".
