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."

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.

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.

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.

Nick Carraway has to fight flappers! And waiters! And hobos! And crabs! BY THROWING HIS HAT AT THEM.
This is 100% awesome.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I was in a bookstore yesterday and saw a little gem called The Secret Life of Dresses ... wonder where I've seen that before ....

I was in Costco the other day with some friends and one picked it up. And I stated yelling in the middle of Costco, "OH MY GOD!!! I KNOW THAT BOOK! I KNOW HER!!!"
Somehow seeing it in Costco made it very exciting.
