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.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

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."

I could probably grab one cheap at Kayo books (which has a big Tie-In movie selection), so you could sample one.

Because books.
Stephen King quiz. Harder than I thought it would be.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It’s just a really good book, it’s well-written, and it’s good for both genders because while there’s killing there’s also a love triangle.
Oh, kids.

Mark is going to read The Princess Bride. This is going to take Not Prepared to completely unheard of levels. I doubt many people have read the book--especially given the number of people who have seen the movie--but the book is very much unlike the movie. It's like The Last Action Hero, a commentary on the genre rather than being a story within the genre. I love that the movie was written by the author of the book, a lot of the framing story is still there, but the tones of the two are so vastly different that it's going to be odd. I think a lot of people are going to be confused.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I know I was but it only took me a few chapters to fall in love as much as I had with the movie.

ME TOO.
I'm sad the Zoo of Death didn't make it into the movie. Man, remember that DEADLY SPIDER??

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Awww, little Zoe is such a Buffista spirit baby.
