Me, too.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
megan, I couldn't get OpenID to work, but I picked Middlemarch. I know, shocking.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, I got OPINIONS. It wouldn't let me use my LJ OpenID, but I got the Google sign-in to work.
I still haven't read Middlemarch. One day. Maybe. My votes go to Midnight's Children, Shadow of the Wind, Lolita, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and Crime and Punishment.

not your mom's socks.
megan, I had trouble with OpenID too, but I went in under my google ID. What a great list of books.
I posted a catalog of sorts of my 2011 reading - already I've realized I left some things off. [link]

The status is NOT quo.
Lolita and Owen Meany are two of my favorites.

Yeah, I was pretty sure with that list that I would end up reading Owen Meany, Lolita, and Midnight's Children.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I'm intrigued to see where it ends up.

Yeah, I was pretty sure with that list that I would end up reading Owen Meany, Lolita, and Midnight's Children.
If I could vote for three that's what I'd pick.

I picked Owen Meany (but I voted). But John Irving is my favorite modern author, so it is to be expected.

Ooh! Did you read The Water Method Man? I think that's his funniest.
