Who read The Fault in Our Stars?
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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."

Such great dialogue in that book. I bet it was great to listen to.

Did anyone else read The Snow Child? It's lovely so far, but I'm anticipating heartbreak.

She cracked me up and made me tear up.

So far it's the frontrunner for favorite book in my yearly round-up. Everyone I've recommended it to has loved it.
I think the hardest part to read for me was the opener. And, unlike most books, I found the ending fairly satisfying.

Oh good. Because the opening is what's tripping me up. I mean, the language is beautiful, but it's bleak in a major way right now. I just got past where she tries to drown, hoping the ice will break, and it was just ... intense.
God, I need more caffeine.

As they say, it gets better.
I mean, it's still heartbreaking I guess, but in a different fairy-tale sort of way.
