Yes, I read it. I found it mostly cute, although there were moments I did love. I certainly enjoyed it. If you want a little more detail, it's kind of a cross between an old-school treasure hunt kind of thing and a new technology world.
Maybe I've always been here.

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."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm good with cute. The Kindle sample definitely caught my attention. (Which might be a hilariously ironic statement, given what I think is the nature of the story.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dana, that sort of sounds like a bibliophile version of Ready Player One.

There are definitely some similarities to Ready Player One, but it's much less agressively, um....less nerd-culture oriented? It's like the difference between reading a book and playing a video game.
