My friend interviewed 5th graders about the Hunger Games:
Awww, little Zoe is such a Buffista spirit baby.
Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.
'Sleeper'
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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Here come the king bats!

I doubt many people have read the book
Your many may vary, but in a self-selecting geek audience, it's not exactly obscure. The book has had almost as many editions as the DVD.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've found a fair %age of people who'd identify themselves as SF and fantasy fans haven't read the book, and a depressing number don't even know that it exists, or that it has any sizable difference from the movie.

Because books.
I haven't read The Princess Bride yet. One day.
For those who don't know if they should read 50 Shades of Grey, a flowchart.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Ahahahahaha! Tim's reaction to the fact that I *paid* for Twilight fanfic was hilarious. It involved the word "Sucker!" for one thing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have never heard of this book. But the flowchart tells me I don't need to read it.

I really want to launch into a diatribe about it, but it's kind of pointless. (And the diatribe actually doesn't have anything to do with it being Twilight fanfic.)
