Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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 no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Hehe. Tip of the iceberg! Enjoy!

I just realized I will probably never have a reading year like 2011 again. I discovered and devoured A Song of Ice and Fire, and Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles. Other standouts were "The Night Circus", "The Book Thief" and my very first Pratchett "Wee Free Men".

I love that feature on Goodreads that allows you to see what books you read by year!

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

That is a pretty great reading year, indeed!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, that one was intense, but there's way more to come. People in these books die in all sorts of interesting ways. (I'm about a quarter of the way through A Dance With Dragons now.)

I wasn't prepared for that. I figured it was a stabbing here, a beheading there, maybe someone gets pushed off a cliff or eaten by a dragon once in a while.

It does look like I'm in the Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies section of the book. A minor character kicked it recently, and another major character is on his way out.

Heh. Nobody dies in these books in a way that isn't worth writing about.

Although, I think that all of those do happen at some point.

Ha! I knew there had to be dragons at some point!! You can't just say they're all dead; that's too much of a tease.

Thank you for the My Fair Lady earworm.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ahahaha! Tim is now 7 chapters into the 5th Skulduggery Pleasant book.

SO MUCH WIN.

I didn't even have to offer him sex to get him to read it.

And now he's like, "I get why everyone thinks the Necromancers are such dicks. BECAUSE THEY ARE." And I'm like, "You have NO IDEA."
