I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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."

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

Anyone else read A Visit from the Goon Squad? What'd you think?

I picked up Something This Wicked This Way Comes on audiobook! I'm excited! I've never read any Bradbury besides "All Summer in a Day" and Fahrenheit 451, I think, and I don't really know anything about this book besides that there is something wicked and it is coming this way.

Who's the reader for the audiobook?

Paul Hecht.

(Also, I do know from a glance at the blurb that the something wicked is a carnival. But that's all I know.)

You'll have to let me know what you think of his voice. I haven't heard that recording.

(I wonder how difficult it would be to set my dad up with the equipment to record him reading Something Wicked This Way Comes ? Because that's the audio version I really want.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

(Jilli, a free download of Audacity and a cheap headphone with a microphone is all you need for recording.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anyone else read A Visit from the Goon Squad? What'd you think?

I liked it a lot. I don't know what I had been expecting, but it wasn't that.

Parts of it engaged me, and parts of it didn't. At times, I disliked a section so much I put it down for a month or so. I really didn't like the ending.

I don't know what I had been expecting, but it wasn't that.

Yeah, it was certainly something different. I think I was expecting something different and it took me a while to warm up to what it was doing.

Parts of it engaged me, and parts of it didn't.

Basically.

I really didn't like the ending.

I did like that it came back around to the beginning, but a lot of the sci-fi was silly.

I feel like it's a book that maybe in a few years I'll want to try again in print because it should appeal to me more.
