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."

Mort is the one I'd recommend, I think. Unless you just want to start with Colour of Magic and plow through them all, of course.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ah, thank you. Bookmarked the link, too.

Five pages into Mort and I can say YES.

Also I love instant downloads. I resisted e-readers but I love not having to wait for a new book to come in the mail.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, definitely Mort, and also Hogfather.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hogfather is probably my favorite, but Reaper Man is so lovely and quietly heartbroken/breaking.

Plus Hogfather has Susan!

Oh yeah, Reaper Man too. I just love all the Death books.

And all the Witches books.

And all the Vimes books.

Um.

Liese, I love all the Discworld books except the Rincewind ones. And even then, The Last Continent is pretty damn funny.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Rincewind either, except when he ran into Cohen the Barbarian.

I like the Rincewind books. The Luggage! Twoflowers!

Death is in pretty much every book, right? Sometimes not for long, but he shows up...
