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."

Because books.

I thought the dolls were sort of weird-looking, sadly. Because a Charlotte Bronte would be awesome. Or an Emily Dickinson.

Yeah, I'll forgo Margaret Atwood and go with Charlotte Bronte, Darcy and Elisabeth, and all four Little Women.

I had all four Little Women Madame Alexander dolls when I was little! I LOVED them.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I don't know; I sort of totally groove on the weirdness of them. I'd make a little literary weirdness tableau, with images like this, this and this as backdrops.

THE JANE EYRE WOODCUT!

Sorry. It makes me a little giddy.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Would Fay's story be part of this collection?

Fay's not in that book, but she's in this one.

(And smonster, you have the earlier book of Tiny Stories, the white one. The red one is the new one.)

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

I had all four Little Women Madame Alexander dolls when I was little! I LOVED them.

I still have those, plus Marmee and Laurie. My grandmother gave them to me over three years of birthdays and Christmases.

Actually, I think I had a wee Laurie, too. For some reason, I had them in two sizes -- Jo and Meg were bigger, maybe 12 inches, and Amy and Beth and Laurie were smaller, maybe 8 inches? Something like that. I did not have Marmee! I'll have to chastise my mother.

I think I still have at least some of them somewhere. Some of them I gave to my niece before Sara was even an idea, sadly.

I have the 8" ones and my sister has the 12" ones, although I have no idea where she's stuffed hers.
