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."

For anyone not yet in possession of an e-reader...
I'm currently being very tempted by a deal-of-the-day for a $40 (plus $5 shipping) re-furbed Kindle.
I already have a Kobo (Borders' ereader before they went belly-up), but I'm tempted (or looking for an excuse) to do compare and contrast.
If you want, you can read my blog post about a sample of "Atlas Shrugged" here. [link] It's also my 300th personal blog post.
Heads up: Mark Reads Newsflesh starts September 3! He's reading Feed, Countdown, Deadline, San Diego 2014, and Blackout. He is entirely unprepared. It's going to be awesome.
ORLY?!
I have now read "Feed" in 4 states, thankyou. I will have to follow this, maybe participate! Fun!
Join the comments! It'll be good times! Two of the mods have capslock-flailed their way through the series over on Spoils, and another just has the third one to go, but she's head over heels too. I can't wait to read all the newbies' reactions to everything.
He starts right after the Hugos, so it's perfect timing, especially if she wins!
Ok, that made me bookmark(NPI) Mark Reads.(I already have Mark Watches bookmarked)
He'll be alternating with The Song of the Lioness (and then possibly with Planetary since it's not long enough to cover all of Newsflesh ) so we'll get zombies every other day. Keep on eye on the Master Schedule.
Oh, I love the Song of the Lioness. I may need to subscribe...
It's the most requested series at all his readings. He's starting Good Omens on Monday, by the way. Which is the most requested non-series book.
