Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

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!

Because books.

I'm sad that Sara isn't very interested in seeing the new movie, because I would love to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude, ditch the kid and go alone!

I just might. I mean, Craig Ferguson is voicing Owl! And I loved Mr. Jessica's review.

Amy if you lived closer I would so go see it with you. Neither of my kids want to see it - I couldn't even talk the 19-year-old into it and she adores Pooh.

Great character descriptions from science fiction and fantasy books.
