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."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm with you all. I have a dummy FB acct that I use to register for sites if I need to. So far, I have only used it with one site that would not respond to customer support email messages.

not your mom's socks.

Fans of Steven Brust and Scott Lynch may want to wander over to Cooking the Books. While done purely for fun, Lynch's "Fate of Beloved Characters" recipe may resonate particularly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So it wasn't here I read about Iain Banks having less than a year to live: [link] ?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh no! That's terrible news.

You have to respect a guy who proposed by asking his significant other if she'd do him the honour of being his widow.

I like his books too, but...that just made things extra real.

He is married to her now (note: not THE Adele, but another Adéle).

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

Interesting! I'll have to play around with that. Not that I need more book recommendations, just to see what it does.
