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."

You realize this looks like you just barfed a bunch of random capital letters, right?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I didn't know who GRRM was before HBO picked up AGoT but I understood that sentence perfectly.

Hey, if you can't understand the message - then it probably wasn't for you.

Rudyard Kipling at 23 hunts down Samuel Clemens.
You are a contemptible lot, over yonder. Some of you are Commissioners, and some Lieutenant-Governors, and some have the V. C., and a few are privileged to walk about the Mall arm in arm with the Viceroy; but I have seen Mark Twain this golden morning, have shaken his hand, and smoked a cigar—no, two cigars—with him, and talked with him for more than two hours! Understand clearly that I do not despise you; indeed, I don’t. I am only very sorry for you, from the Viceroy downward. To soothe your envy and to prove that I still regard you as my equals, I will tell you all about it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You don't sound like a wackaloon; you sound like a bibliophile.

Heh...
Have you ever, encumbered with great-coat and valise, tried to dodge diversely-minded locomotives when the sun was shining in your eyes?
No, sir, I have not!
There's a great account by Kipling of coming to San Francisco and meeting two office girls at work and his portrait of them is so fond and besotted with their liveliness and bold independence.
