Buffy ,'Potential'
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."
How do you interpret Harry Potter being called "the most definitive series of my life so far"?
Maybe the speaker is talking about books published during their lives? Then I pause and think..."definitive" is an interesting, puzzling word. I'd probably default to Hitchhiker's, because it's really simple and lazy to do so, but how can any series even be definitive? It just seems wrong...
Hmmm...maybe that it defines what a series ought to be. It is the gold-standard against which all other series are measured?
It is an odd word choice.
I think it is a weird choice of words, but I like Debet's interpretation. For that poster, it was everything a series should be, and everything she wanted in a series.
Then I have no idea what I would pick. I'd almost feel like I were being cruel..
fwiw, the io9 excerpt for Machine is interesting. [link] The synopsis? Not so much. Which, it turns out, is fine, because it has nothing to do with the book, and is wrong on several counts.
ETA: Kat, Hourglass is on my TBR list.
My school librarian gave it to me to read...I'm glad I did. I want to know more but....I dunno.
A completely ridiculous question: Did any of you ever read the tie-in novels for Dark Shadows? I'm assuming they're kind of appalling, but I want to know if they're appalling in that fun gothic popcorn sort of way. I keep finding them on eBay and being tempted to bid.

I could probably grab one cheap at Kayo books (which has a big Tie-In movie selection), so you could sample one.
Stephen King quiz. Harder than I thought it would be.
