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."

The 30 Harshest Author-on-Author Insults In History [link]

Gertrude Stein on Ezra Pound: “A village explainer. Excellent if you were a village, but if you were not, not.”

Vladimir Nabokov on Ernest Hemingway: “As to Hemingway, I read him for the first time in the early 'forties, something about bells, balls and bulls, and loathed it.”

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

Customer: I read a book in the eighties. I don't remember the author, or the title. But it was green, and it made me laugh. Do you know which one I mean?

I had that one too, they were handing them out on campus, my first day of college.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Strangled by...the stuffy conventions of Regency society?
