Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

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."

essays, mixed author shortstories, children's books and humor are in the guest bedroom.
Tech and reference are in the office.
the only thing that is wrong like a wrong thing is the LPs in the office. but they need a spot in LRoom.
TBR books 150- 180 piled haphazardly on my shelves next to the bed

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Then you need all new stuff!
Heh. No, I think I've hit my stride with the old dark wood. Love. This is going to be my next book support purchase, I think.
magazine holder are for comics
Way too many comics for that.
My books are reasonably haphazard, and not just because I'm short a bookshelf. Most of the fiction goes in the living room, mixed in with the non-fiction (which predominates by far), stored by author and series. The non-fiction is loosely thematically arranged--weapons here, martial arts there, computer books here. But I have books of all those sorts in the bedroom too.

Guess what I've never read, but am going to start reading tomorrow on the bus ride home?
Jane Eyre
Now, I *hated* Wuthering Heights. But I'm going to be reading Jane Eyre with an entirely different mindset: I know it's the book where almost all the Gothic novel clichés come from, and I'm probably going to spend the entire time thinking of it as high parody/black comedy.
The real reason I finally decided to read it, though? Because I got a copy of the version illustrated by Dame Darcy.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Jilli, I have to know what you think of Jane Eyre when you're done. I personally love it. I think it is much different from Wuthering Heights, so I hope hating the latter doesn't ruin your enjoyment of the former.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw that in a bookstore the other day, Jilli!
I also think it's very, very different from Wuthering Heights. Although I think I like Wuthering Heights better. So that might mean you love Jane Eyre.

I hated WH but adored Jane Eyre when I was a young teen. Except for what I called the boring part. So I'd just always skip that part.

hated Wuthering heights but while I don't love Jane Eyre - it is a very different and much better book
I just read a book called Report Card A kid's book that talks about the evils of standerized testing. odd.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, I love Jane Eyre (completely unable to type that as anything but Jayne the first time), and I hate Wuthering Heights. Jane is a great character, and so much more likeable than anyone in WH.
