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."

There's going to be a MOVIE?

Yes! It's not set to come out until 2014, but still. The actress cast to play Tris is from Secret Life of the American Teenager, which worries me, but still.

I plowed through the first book in a day; I was completely sucked in.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It shouldn't. She was great in The Descendants and won a ton of awards.

Oh, good! I wasn't aware she'd been in anything else. ABC Family is just on in my house enough that Secret Life is all I recognized her name from.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth

I take it the last one will be called Resurgent?

I don't think it has been named yet!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

- The Rook by Daniel O'Malley (awesome)

I'm about halfway through this myself, based on, if I remember correctly, Pix's recommendation. I'm definitely enjoying it. Good to see another rec!

It is such a cool story! Very different, and nice to see a girl main character kicking ass all over the book without being anybody's love interest.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I shared this on FB, but it probably belongs here too.

John Green does a little video love letter to our alma mater Kenyon College.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

This is a great essay about LeGuin and her legacy.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I'm almost through _Paper Towns_ by John Green and loving it.
