I'm actually sitting here crying about Ray Bradbury.
Me, too.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
He was supposed to live forever.
That's why he wrote those stories.
Now he can unfurl his leathery wings like Uncle Einar and go soaring out over the hot summery days.

Speaking of Bradbury. I'm trying to locate this essay: “How Instead of Being Educated in College, I Was Graduated From Libraries.” Which was in Wilson Library Journal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The IO9 article on his death is getting some really good comments. He sounds like he's had a lovely impact on a ton of people--not just through his writing, but also directly, in person.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I got all but the Narnia. I find that I'm okay with that.

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

I got them all too. It was pretty easy, I say. Except for a few. I was unsure about the Narnia one, but I pulled through.
