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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm preordering from amazon.ca. I'm a purist, and they use the same text as the UK editions.
Beyond that, it depends on geography

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought books were underlined and movies italicised. Where's our style guide?

We don't trust the style guide. It speaks against gauchos.

Because books.
Nothing's underlined, according to the Chicago Manual of Style. Books, films, TV shows -- all italicized. A specific episode of a TV show would be in quotation marks, as would a song off a particular CD (and the CD itself would be italicized).

Note that I am a pedant who doesn't bother to actually code her posts to italicize the title of mentioned book.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think MLA style underlines book titles.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The underlining is an MLA thing. APA also uses itals, and quote marks for a smaller segment of something that would go in itals.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Underlining is for squares.
