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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah. I noticed that. Amanda, too.

Very odd day ...

Among Amazon's Cyber Monday sales are special Kindle deals on what looks like Barbara Hambly's entire fantasy catalog.

And also Octavia Butler.

A lot of Dorothy Sayers too, IIRC.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Where's a good place to start with Octavia Butler? I've never read her, and I should fix that.

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

-t, I've read both Parable of the Sower and Kindred, and they're both excellent (and very different from each other).
