I have no clue, megan.
In other news, a piece on The Bechdel Test and classic literature.
The comments list a few novels that pass, but I'm trying to come up with more.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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."

megan, the Sookie Stackhouse books maybe? I have never read one so it's a shot in the dark

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No, definitely not Sookie.

That could be. I only read the sample of that book, which I didn't like. It is about a vampire and a witch though. I didn't like it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Is Aslan a man? If not, then The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. Also, I think mny mystery books might- Miss Marple, Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, if only because they are discussing the mystery?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Miss Marple totally does.
Miss Marple rules.

Looks like it was, in fact, A Discovery of Witches.

I read it...and can't remember what it was about. Quite bland.

Classics besides Jane Austen that pass the Bechdel Test:
The Awakening
Cold Comfort Farm
Gone with the Wind
The Group
Howards End
Jane Eyre
Les Misérables
Little Women
Rebecca
A Room with a View
I’m pretty sure a number of Zola and Balzac novels would pass the test.
