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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

it's already been estabished that in this world dark coloring is dominant over fair.

Was it? It seemed clear to me in AGOT that this was only established for Baratheon/Lannister pairings. If it were true across the board, all of the Stark children would have looked like Ned.

It's been noted that Arya looks a lot like Lyanna, fwtw.

Pretty sure there were Targaryens with non-Targaryen dark-haired mothers with the trademark Targaryen hair. Also some with dark hair. Bit of a crap shoot, genetics.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So I'm actually liking Extras. The world is interesting and relevant, and Aya is not an annoying protagonist. The plot is moving and everything!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Looks like there's another big Kindle sale. For example, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is only $2.99, which is a ridiculous deal.

I don't know whether to thank you or curse you, Dana. That is not good news for the shopping diet.

Sorry?

So far I've only bought Jonathan Strange and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (99 cents).

And Zoo City is only 99 cents, and it's supposed to be excellent.

I wonder if God's War is on sale...

not your mom's socks.

Zoo City is excellent.

My The Thackery T Lambstead Cabinet of Curiosities arrived. It looks really good, and very odd.

Oh no! You don't think he's going to follow through on that "live to be 100 minus 1 day" thing, do you? It'll be too soon!
