I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not 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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Psst, "Reader, I married him," was Bronte.
Yeah, see I thought that was too punchy and apt for Jane.
Not that she can't be punchy and apt, but her endings do tend to trail away rather than end with a bang line.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I had HUGE issues with Mansfield Park, mainly having Fanny marry the man who was her moral and intellectual inferior! AND and and NOT TO MENTION making Fanny Price the heroine is like a slap in the face to Lizzie lovers everywhere! fie!

The status is NOT quo.
Teppy! Thank you so much for recommending Skulduggery Pleasant! I have burned through the first two and am currently geebling through the third. SO much fun!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I had a fit about Mansfield Park about 100 posts ago. It's just so blah compared to other Austen.

Pix, you are gonna love the rest of them. Like Harry Potter, they get darker as the audience matures. I am waiting for my latest one to arrive with baited breath!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, your fit about it was why I reread it!

Also, I love China Sorrows more and more with every book. Even when I shouldn't.

Oh my lord, yes. Really. I'm still not over the [spoilery] thing in the latest book.
I am waiting for my latest one to arrive with baited breath!
Man, I need it to get there so we can talk about the thing and the OTHER thing.
