Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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!

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.
