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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Ah, okay. Not quite what I was expecting, but close enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys -- I finished Room last night, and I can't stop thinking about it! Then I found the website, which is worth seeing if you've read the book: [link]

I haven't read any of her other stuff, so can't say how it compares.
