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."

Franken,
I didn't really like Kim Darby's take on the character, having seen the movie in January. I definitely prefer the Coen brother's version of the movie to the John Wayne version. John Wayne does a pretty good job though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
when HKF asked to see what I was reading. And now won't give it back.
The big rule growing up (I was older than HKF) was that I couldn't "borrow" a parent's book to read until they were finished. Thankfully they read quickly as well. So there was usually a book to grab and devour.

Because books.
Stephen and Jake used to have cage matches to get to the newest Harry Potter first.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Heh -- I'm still the fastest reader in the fam, but not by a huge margin. My mom's the slowest -- it takes her 2 WHOLE DAYS to get through a book!
If my mom or dad was being stubborn, I'd just wait till they'd gone to bed, and stay up and read whatever I was impatient to get my hot little hands on.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So when I was in Chicago, I visited Myopic Books, which I had visited with Buffistas so many years ago, and I found all four Uglies books in great condition. And since Scott Westerfeld is going to be at Comic-Con, I've been wanting to read them before then. I'm excited!

Always Anti-fascist!
My theoretical kid would be so sad...my current book is "The Shock Doctrine" and the screwing that's in it isn't the "read the dirty bits," kind.

not your mom's socks.
Well HKF's response to Cass' family bookletting rule was a combo of "you snooze you lose" and "this is really good mom. I'd tell you more but I don't want to spoil it.". Oh child of my heart. Give me back my book.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have to think about my top three secondary worlds.

Re: True Grit--my dad has read the book and now seen both film versions. He loves the book, loved the Wayne version just because it was John Wayne, but after we saw the Coen Brothers version, he walked out of the theatre saying that, as heretical as it was to say it, he thought that their version was the better adaption of the book.
