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."

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.

Well, I get these dangerous email alerts from Amazon. . . $.99 here, $1.99 there . . .
Sumi, I signed up for those e-mails last night, because I remembered you said you got an e-mail alert from Amazon with the daily deal.
I swear I found out about those emails from somebody here!
