I was all edjamacated and tongue kissed my first boy at 8...and then the second one many years later. I don't know all that book larning was for any good end.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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."

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

Yes, I went from Never Been Kissed to backseat, er, manual stimulation in about 20 minutes.
I knew what was happening intellectually, but the lizard brain, she is not so smart.

Always Anti-fascist!
Connie, I should have known the Hardisons of the e-reader world would have my(messy) back...maybe at Christmas. I still like paper books and will be sad if/when they do not print them anymore, but the e-reader would be nice for things like biographies and books of Matt Taibbi columns...not that Taibbi's work is disposable or anything...just that it's hard to reread election analysis.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, do I want to read The Help or not? I put it on hold at the library a long time ago, and it just came up. I feel like I'm already over the whole controversy thing and am back to not caring about it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I enjoyed The Help quite a lot. I liked the characters and saw way too many of my relatives reflected in them.

I also enjoyed The Help.

Hey. New board.
I thought it was very good, for reasons that had nothing to do with controversy. I say read it.

Because books.
My mom loved it and is desperate for me to read it so we can talk about it, although I think she wanted us to go see the movie together, too. Probably too late for that now. I did like the first chapter I read very quickly.

OK, I'll try it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My women's group just watched the movie together, so I was thinking about reading to book so I could talk about it, but I am mostly meh.
