So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So, I read Hunger Games the first all in one sitting last night. And as I suspected, should have waited until I had all three from the library before I started book one.

Secondly, I just had a new subscriber to my ministry mailing list whose address is edward.xoxo. That bit of data is going to get out and infect my whole database, isn't it?

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

Liese,

the 3rd book continues right after the 2nd (not unlike the Girl With Dragon Tattoo series), so if you needed a break between books, now is the time to take it. The 2nd and 3rd should be read together, IMO.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

HOLY SHIT WHAT.

Although I don't know about that. The Shining was all about the Overlook.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror has forever made me hear that in my head as "The Shinning," in Groundskeeper Willie's voice.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I got a collection of short stories - urban fantasy - and the first story is a Harry Dresden where he investigates the cause and continuation of The Billy Goat Curse.
