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."

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, he can only be who he is.(Not that we can't change...argh.) But he can only be blamed a little for what he wrote at a less-sensitive time.

I guess I think it's weird that it's disappointing.

Always Anti-fascist!

Sometimes, when I was a kid, I'd get disappointed when an old children's book was sexist or something like that. Because I was eight, or whatever, approval-seeking, and not expecting it. I don't get lost in the story like I used to, but the upside is, that doesn't feel like a kick in the gut anymore.

Scola, thank you for posting that! I had never seen that essay of his.

I suppose Ray Bradbury would not want to have a religion started around him. But he is one of my patron saints. Him, and the Emperor Norton.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

You know, Ray Bradbury should visit Disneyland with Jilli.

I still count myself incredibly lucky that I was able to meet him at DragonCon one year, get my childhood copy of Something Wicked This Way Comes signed, and get a photo of him holding Clovis.

But he is one of my patron saints. Him, and the Emperor Norton.

And Emperor Norton, while not having a religion built around him per se, is a saint or something in Discordianism.
