Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
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'm trying to figure out if there's a recognized group I could apply to donate to. There are a lot of underserved kids in this community, but I'm not sure what channel to give through.

My thought was all the people in waiting rooms at Kaiser and the ER who sit there with nothing to read, waiting. I figure anyone who doesn't have a book there is either a nonreader or desperate for a book. One problem is that giving The Stand to sick people seems wrong.

I could give it to people who look like they need doorstops.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was thinking about signing up and giving them away to people on the bus who didn't have books. But I am not sure I could actually talk to people and ask if they wanted a book.

I figure anyone on the bus who doesn't have a book, that's because they get carsick reading on the bus or they don't like to read.
There is a guy on my bus I'm watching read through CJ Cherryh. Right now he's just about to finish Cloud's Rider; I'm intrigued to see what he picks up next.

In Rochester we have a lot of underserved kids on the bus, because there aren't separate school buses for middle and high school. They just get bus passes for the city buses. So I was thinking more of them than the adults, but again, not sure I want to talk to them, because they also tend to be loud and obnoxious at times.

I'm not good at talking to strangers, so I figured I'd print out why they're getting a free book and why I think it's worth reading and stick it in the book.
