I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

Because books.

Wow, I haven't read The Group in years. I had forgotten about that book.
