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."

Because books.

I fell in love with child Jane, and never fell out. Standing up to Aunt Reed, and to Brocklehurst? I wanted to cheer while hugging her and giving her tea.

I just picked up Lord John and the Private Matter, by Diana Gabaldon, and I realize I've lost a lot of the details about his appearances in the Outlander books (except for the main one). Has anyone else read them? Is that going to matter?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

We interrupt your programming for this important message...

HOLP! Does anyone have a copy of or know really well The Hundred Penny Box by Sharon Bell Mathis? I want to do a write up on it for one of my classes, but can't find my copy and I need to confirm that it is a chapter book.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It does not appear to be divided into chapters, based on what I'm seeing online.

That's what I got, too. Dangit. Should have used it for realistic fiction. I'll do Bud, Not Buddy instead.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is anyone here excited for DFW’s Pale King?

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Is Urban Fantasy the genre that usually has a cover with the female protagonist showing her back and usually sporting a tattoo and wearing leather or something badass-ish and holding a weapon?

According to io9, that phase is over. We've now moved on to the "tattooed man nipple"! Wheeeee!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Is anyone here excited for DFW’s Pale King?

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but it looms in my future.

Hah! thanks for the man-nipple link, Rayne! Fascinating.

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

So I got Infinite Jest to read along with Mark and now I'm already caught up and have barely started the book. Do I wait for Mark to post again or go ahead without him? I also got Julie & Julia for next month's book club and have not yet cracked it.
