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."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Woo hoo, Dana!

I think "The Little Dalek" is my favorite.

Dana, congratulations! That's awesome!

I bought Shine today. So far, quite enjoyable. And I loved that on NPR today she talked about putting on her big girl panties! cracked me up.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Thanks, guys. And sorry again for posting in the wrong thread. Nuance is hard while you're typing illicitly on your Kindle at work.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Woo, Dana! What? I just found out.

Ha, I reserved my whoot, too! Whoot, Dana! Congrats!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Congrats Dana!

Because books.

I would love to attend this event. I'd love to try the cake, too.

Did I mention I'm reading Shine right now and I love it? It's like a lighter version of Winter's Bone with added gay issues. And no chopping off her father's hands to prove he's dead. I also bought Blood Red Road, a Joan Bauer book and the new Rick Riordan.

I ordered Shine, but it won't ship for a few weeks, oddly.

I've heard great things about Blood Red Road, but I'd like to know what you think about it. I don't always do well with dialect-heavy narrative.

Amy, it's like 4th on my list of books to get to. I have a Gary Schmidt book from the library (have you read Wednesday Wars... I LOVED that book) as well as last year's Booker Award winner and two other books from the library that need to be read first.
