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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Thanks!

Many years ago I actually read The Prisoner of Zenda ... for what that's worth.

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

Has anyone else read The True Meaning of Smekday? Because it is wonderful and everyone should read it.

Because books.

Do you want to post that in GWW, too, sumi?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

The first three have been published in Australia (that's where Cooper lives) but the 3rd one won't be out in the US until October.

Oooh! With this info, I ordered a copy from Australia.

I believe it might be possible for me to teach the first book next year -- I will have a 9th grade honors class I think. Hmmmm....Must consider a grant.

The next J.K. Rowling? Bloomsbury is hoping so, anyway.

Hey. New board.

The book sounds pretty good. I'll probably read it.

I think so, too. The only issue is that it's not going to cross over to the kids' market. But then, Stieg Larsson did okay!
