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."

Ann, that's a ferret.

I decided to put off reading any of the Gor novels until the publication of Valley Girls of Gor.

Still haven't read any.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I like Dune, but I'm not trying to be a Bene Gesserit.

I am, but so far my children have thwarted my efforts to control them with Voice.

I have never read a Gor book. Sounds like I probably shouldn't bother.

I want someone to write a Good Parts edition of Gor, with all the crack-addled Burroughs adventures and none of the sexism.

... it would be a lot shorter, no doubt.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

it would be a lot shorter, no doubt.

I think one book would do it for the series.

I can image a relationship with a Marvel comics fan, with someone who doesn't like bacon, with a person who can't quote Strunk and White, and even one with a comma misuser. It would be hard, but we could work through it. I can't imagine one with a Gor fan.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'd call him Master, Tep. Master Baiter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I knew a guy who had a bunch of Gor books but when I asked him if he'd recommend one he got a little red in the face and started stammering.

Props for self-awareness, anyway!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I like Dune, but I'm not trying to be a Bene Gesserit.

Right? *I* am not building a Bat-Signal.

Nor do I have any sort of plans for when I eventually become the vampire witch-queen of the universe. (Being regarded as cute and harmless works in both mine & Clovis' favor, sometimes.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'd call him Master, Tep. Master Baiter.

Man, I never think on my feet that quickly! L'esprit d'escalier, c'est moi.
