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."

Oh, like that hasn't been a lifelong pursuit of yours, Hec. But I don't remember the last time I underlined anything, even if I'm not cool.

I am wrestling (like, molasses-wrestling, not fun at all) with style guides today, and y'all are making me weep.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
APA and MLA can BITE ME
Amen to that shite. APA is the format I have to use on EVERYTHING for the next three years.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Is there any style guide that uses both italics and underlining, for two different things? I can't recall ever learning any.

If you can't do italics - you underline. That's what I learned from back in the day of typewriters.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. MLA is just wicked old-fashioned. (Although possibly not any more, as they are revising for a 2008 publication date.)

Re. Harry Potter, I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to more: finding out how it ends or watching fandom reactions to how things end.

That's right! It'll be interesting to see some fans' heads explode. Like the Harry-Hermione 'shippers who retreated to their own personal bubble after HBP and refused to acknowledge what JKR wrote.
