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."

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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

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".

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I knew a Sushi at Rice.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

God, I thought for a minute that said "Dance of Dolphins."

The unpossible has happened, folks; I am too tired to read.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is everybody aware of the many resources available at Archive.org?

Among other things, they have free audiobooks by volunteer readers.

There's a rating system too so you can find the best readers of Persuasion or The Princess and the Goblin.

You can stream it or download it.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, it's the Librivox audio. Yeah, the readers there are a real crapshoot: I've only found a couple I really liked.

oooh, I do like the streaming function, that's new: you can sample the reader before you go to the trouble of downloading.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Great Gatsby video game for NES: [link]

Nick Carraway has to fight flappers! And waiters! And hobos! And crabs! BY THROWING HIS HAT AT THEM.

This is 100% awesome.
