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

I've met him, or someone a lot like him.

Heh, so have I. And I think he's an asshole.

I didn't like how Art3mis was handled in the end either. Because I had been thinking that it was cool how she rejected her position in the book as love interest/supporting character and just went off and did her own thing, but then it turns out that she...has a birthmark? She went from "thinks Parvical is as much of a waste of time as I do" from "wants to be the love interest but thinks she's not pretty enough" Blech.

Wow, I'm surprised at how angry that book is still making me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sox,

I got the ebook sample of reamde. I have not finished it yet, but I might buy the whole thing if I like the sample.

Is that the first chapter?

Once you're past the diner scene, let me know if you had the same reaction to the re-p0wning of a concept from Google that I did. Had me chuckling. Metahumor.

I live in NYC. Through my computer.

That's good enough, right?

Le sigh.
