It's not YA?
WTF? I thought for sure it was while reading it. Hmm.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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."

Yeah, the blog entries and the little post-scripts at the end of each chapter, some with more oomph than others.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Someone else said they found it in the YA section, but it's sci-fi/horror. The characters are also older than the typical YA protagonists.
There is another Feed that IS YA, so that's why you may have been confused.

Yep. Yep.

I think they're all mid- to late-twenties.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, so now I need the Time to Read feature to extrapolate and turn the pages for me, at the rate I've been going in my current book. So it can let me blaze through easy read stuff and then give me more time for Jacques Ellul or whatever.
We can do this, peoples, we have the technology!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I could have used the Time To Read feature last night - I got into bed last night to read without realizing I was three pages from the end of the book. (Granted, I could have looked at the percentage last night and noticed I was 98% done, BUT STILL.)

98% is misleading, though! You don't know if the book actually goes to 100% or not. Like the Sherlock Holmes books I have are from Project Gutenberg, so at the end is all the copyright information and whatnot, so the books actually end in the 90% range.
It's like how I have to check each ASOIAF book to figure out when all the damn appendices start so I can gauge when I'll hit the end of the actual book.
