I hadn't even heard about it, but it sounds interesting. Once I am free to buy new books, I may pick it up.
(My stack of to-be-read is HUGE, and yet I keep retreating to comfort-reading books right now.)
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Jilli, me too. I keep going back to favorites ... and watching my TBR pile grow. This one ... I wasn't really that involved with it - it seemed to promise more than it delivered. I don't know if I'll buy any subsequent books.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
where the vampires rose up and slaughtered humans, brought down civilization, humans are relegated to equatorial areas (vampires don't like heat). Has anyone else read it?
No, but I like the sound of it. Seriously. I'd live that. If I were a vampire. WHICH I AM NOT.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just finished 'Mark Reads Twilight' (well, technically Mark Reads Breaking Dawn but I read them all) and omg so good. It was worth reading the four books just to get Mark's fanfic of the principle characters going to visit Meyer in the last review. Absofuckinglutely brilliant.
Now I'm on to 'Mark Reads Harry Potter' and enjoying the hell out of that. Clearly I prefer fanboy squee to capslock vitriol. I'm also loving that Mark is not as analytical as I am so he missed reading the inscription on the mirror of Erised backwards and he has no idea what could be wrong about a guy named Remus Lupin. It's so fun to anticipate his surprise at the moments of reveal that I didn't get to experience because I saw them coming.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
He's reading the Hunger Games books, too. He's on Mockingjay right now, towards the middle-end, I think.

REMEMBER OUR AGREEMENT. Turn me, then life of crime.
(It is important to have a plan for these things.)
