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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm rereading the "Heaven" series by VC Andrews!

Oh, wait.

Nevermind.

I'm reading The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad by Minister Faust, which so far is very cool. Not too many African diaspora books are laden with this kind of Star Wars/Star Trek/Alan Moore reference spice.

Plus, the chapter I just finished kicked off with a Tim Bayliss quote.

Always Anti-fascist!

That's trippy, Raq.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Shrift, it's probably too late, but I'd recommend The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner, which has fannish behavior, girls in tall boots and feather hats learning to fence, and a tormented gay male romance. Plus, sex. I enjoyed it lots, more than The Fall of Kings, which did little for me.

I did already go shopping, Consuela, but I'll never turn down a book rec. I'm getting a lot of reading done on the bus these days.

I liked The Fall of the Kings, but more in a "so that's what they were talking about way than a "that's wicked cool" way. Kinda like the Silmarillion, actually. The Privilege of the Sword, on the other hand, rocked hardcore. I can't wait till my daughter's old enough to read it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The last book I read and loved was The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril

I was kind of eh on The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril but I can't not recommend it. I also have a hardcover copy of it free to a good home, if anyone wants it.

It took me some time to get into it. I'm very rusty on my Cthulu mythos but after the plot got rolling I was hooked the rest of the way through.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Did anyone here read The Devil in the White City ? (I know there was a time when every other person in Chicago was reading it, but I don't know whether that applies elsewhere.)
