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."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I heard about a book that I want to read, but can no longer remember the author or title. It was a non-fiction book where the author made friends with and wrote about people living in low income city neighborhoods (possibly in chicago) and how there was a whole alternate economy going on that the mainstream public doesn't know about. I am pretty sure that there was a segment about this book on This American Life, where someone had a garage sale and sold furniture with money in it?

I can't wait to get Glass Heart. But I have to wait until this weekend.
I am also part way through Dog Stars. HOLY SHIT! It's good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did a massive amount of reading this week.I hope I can maintain a shred of that momentum. Finished Development Hell, Mindy Kaling's book, and The Bluest Eye. And dug properly into guards! Guards! My biggest disappointment is with Mindy. I wanted to find a new imaginary best girl friend ever out of this one. She is too stiff for me to lose my self in her words. Her naughtiness is not mine. And her judginess does not align with my judge and jury in the least.
Pfft. I still hope for the best for her show.

Have you guys listened to her WTF Podcast with Marc Maron? She's an interesting person.

The status is NOT quo.
People! Has anyone else read Daniel O'Malley's book The Rook? I'm not even halfway through and loving it. Such a great read!

What did you think of The Bluest Eye, ita ! It was Morrison's first novel, and I loved teaching it. Spurred SUCH great conversations, papers and projects in my students. But I adore Beloved more and read it once a year. The LANGUAGE! So wonderful! It's such a dense, gripping, HARD book.
