Buffistas

I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'

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."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Warning: Homecoming is not a horror story.

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.)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

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...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Free audiobook today from Amazon:

Colin Firth's unabridged reading of Graham Greene's The End of the Affair. Depressing as all hell, but it must sound utterly gorgeous.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

My super-cheap refurbished Kindle ($48! Whatta steal) just arrived last Friday and I already bought like 6 books. I buy from Amazon as a rule anyway and it's just so easy to click on that one-click button. Presto, instant gratification! I am gonna have to work on exercising some restraint, I see. Why have't I gotten it ages ago???

The way to exercise restraint is to load Calibre on your laptop and fill the Kindle up with free books from Project Gutenberg. (And fic from AO3!)
