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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I do know that people sell and arrange books by color; buy books by the pound to fill bookshelves and drill holes through books to make lamps. I still find it painful. Today I made little cries of pain when I saw that not only is this person selling books by color, she's selling Gone-Away Lake and The Phantom Tollbooth by color. [link]

That's the binding my school library had Gone-Away Lake in! One of my most favorite books ever.

The Philosophers Club. Baby-Belle Tuckertown and the summer cats. Mrs. Brace-Gideon. The Gulper. Julian saying that Foster's two interests were outer space and inner pie.

(Excuse me. I just had a Gone-Away Lake-gasm.)

And the names! Sophronisba!

I'm afraid to re-read for fear it won't be as wonderful. Must check the kids' section of the used bookstore.

I just read the new John Green book. I am utterly blown away.

Because books.

Mine will be here on Thursday. Am I going to spend the weekend crying?
