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."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Do you want me to send it to you?

Thank you!

It shall be my treat for unpacking my whole office today.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'd suggest that you don't read "The Small Assassin" until Rose is much older.

Heh, I actually read it just a few weeks ago (been slowly making my way through a Bradbury collection ever since he died), but I thought it was more funny than creepy. The premise is unsettling, but I couldn't get past the fact that the mother thought her baby was evil because he didn't sleep at night.

Warning: Homecoming is not a horror story. It always gives me a case of the sniffles. Damn allergies. A warm and loving family shows acceptance of the family oddball. Gee, can't think of why that would get to me.

Oh, no. Not in the slightest. But it is my all-time favorite Bradbury story. I have the stand-alone short book for it that was illustrated by Dave McKean, and it's lovely.

(Huh. I wonder if I could convince Pete to illustrate a version JUST FOR ME.)

I love it too. Just wanted to warn people that it can give a case of the sniffles.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Excellent news regarding Terry Pratchett. Excellent on a number of fronts, especially the post script.

Now excuse me, I must go squeeflail all over the place...

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That is truly excellent news.
