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."

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Oh, I read 60 books last year. These won't be all I read for sure, but I wanted to be responsible to someone else for some of the more difficult ones. My secret goal is of course to read all 25.

But I know myself and I'll get distracted from the project and read other stuff. And I'll still have my book salon books since these don't necessarily coordinate in any way.

Punishingly Intricate

It's about tequila, right?

It's been a while since I've read it but...sure!

Because books.

I'd be interested in a Goodreads group for at least some of them, megan.

I'll add you to the list!

It will be a private group as I would have done on Facebook. I think because you can have different threads it will be easier for people who just want to read 1 or 2.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I need to sign up for Goodreads, but I feel like it will take me forever to catalog ALL THE BOOKS I OWN AND EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER READ.

Are you on shelfari or librarything? Because you can import stuff into Goodreads.

I'm not expecting to ever get that done, P-C. I doubt anyone is, except members who sign up at thirteen.

Weird that To the Lighthouse isn't available on Gutenberg. Only Night and Day, The Voyage Out, Jacob's Room, and Monday or Tuesday are. But wouldn't they all be in the public domain, rather than just some of them?

Not if they'd renewed the copyright.

edit: And the Australian Gutenberg site has different rules about copyright, so different books are available--not that I'd ever suggest ways that people could circumvent the laws of our fair nation.

Do they have "A Room of One's Own"?

Nope. How are they different?

I guess I could at the very least put what's on my bookshelf and add books I know I've read when I remember them. Of course, my ratings would be really wonky, like some of my old Netflix ratings.
