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."

Read it for free, Jesse. It was okay...though I was irritated by it at points.

Also, EVERYONE should read Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I'd love to teach this book.

I got it signed by him (well, a galley) at BEA, and he was so charming, so completely what you'd expect for the author of that book. I've only skimmed so far, because I was too busy to read it at the time, but what I read I loved. My mom has it now. And the cover is spectacular.

It's a wonderful book. I love the narrator. I also love how this is sort of a Great Gatsby, a decade later. Nice to read a Great Depression book that isn't.

I cannot believe he's an investment banker!

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Anyone want a bunch of coverless Piers Anthony paperbacks? We're clearing out my old room at my folks' house.

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