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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I finished Thief of Time, and then I thought, "I wonder how many books I have until the next Susan one," so I checked.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ISN'T A NEXT SUSAN ONE

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I just read her Talking About Detective Fiction, which is mostly about Golden Age authors, but talks about her view of the necessary elements of a mystery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is a totally fascinating effort--a teenager's investigation into published authors and symbolism.

Because books.

I love Ray Bradbury's response. And I love seeing who scrawled across the page, who typed on the page, and who typed a whole new letter.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I love Ray Bradbury's response.

That sentence should just be the answer to everything.
