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."

Anyone still reading the Clan of the Cave Bear series? The final (6th) book is out.
The first book traumatized me so I checked out back in high school.

Damnit, looks like the Game of Thrones food truck is only around at 6pm... too bad for people who have kids and don't live in Manhattan.

I hated the fifth book so much that I'll skip this, at least until the paperback comes out, and I probably won't even read that.

“Not dead yet!”
It got a rather lukewarm review at USA Today. Of the "Gorgeous writing and descriptions, hope you don't care about the actual story," variety.

I had no idea they were still being written. After the second book, when What's-Er-Face was responsible for 90% of human development, and then Mr. Woman Maker showed up to introduce her to sexual fulfillment, I figured the whole point had been made.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Seriously? Is Jondalar still deep dicking Ayla with his majestic schlong? Or have we moved on to new characters?
I need to cut out more time in my day for reading. I have so many started and unstarted books on my Nook, it's kind of shameful. A different kind of shameful from a stack of TBR. It feels even more wasteful, somehow.

They got back to Jondalar's tribe at the very end of the fourth book, and then went through more relationship crap in the fifth. It was just a retread of the third book, IMO, and I really really hated it. So much so that, after buying the hardcover the day it came out while I was working at Waldenbooks and reading it while I was waiting for my mom to finish an outpatient surgery procedure, I returned it the next day. I never return books, ever. And then, when I was working at the bookstore, if a customer asked for my opinion of the book, I'd give it honestly, but only if they asked me first. I usually recommended that they wait until it came out in paperback if they had to buy it at all.

Because books.
Is Jondalar still deep dicking Ayla with his majestic schlong?
Oh god, I just choked on my tea.
I never read those books. Even for the sex.
