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."

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

My comics have skewed my recommendations heavily, and suggests a bunch of stuff I either have or want. How predictable am I?

I have three books no one else has, and they are all about Jamaica, either history or photographs.

I peeked at the tag cloud, and Douglas Adams was so big it hurt my eyes. But it reminded me to enter the five of his books I have.

I haven't figured out all of that Watch stuff, nor the Suggestions page. Heck, I haven't even added tags yet! That'll be Saturday's job, after I get all the romances added. But, I've got everything else in, and I even used going through all the books to add to my purge/to-be-donated pile! Found another dozen books to send to charity, as well as two that were badly mis-shelved.

Up to 431 books so far--less than I thought, but I am doing my third purge in 18 months. I'm scared to think of how many I would have had two years ago!

I think I have the right user name for you, Kathy, do you have The Arcanum, too?

Yep, but it's on my to-be-read list (still!). I picked it up while I was working at the bookstore--it was on the bargain shelves, and looked interesting.

OK, it's 5:00 am here, and my body's finally ready to shut down. I've got all my books that aren't romances into LibraryThing, and have more than half of them tagged. Must leave some for Saturday!

Good night (or rather, good morning!) to you all.

I'm scared to check this out, as it will probably eat my weekend. But, it does sound fun!

Hee. I have watched people succumb on LJ and at work, and now you all are falling. It's really funny how addictive it is, for something that when described sounds sort of like watching paint dry. (I haven't done it. Yet...)

I think I'd actually be embarrassed by some of my book ownage.

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

I've ordered a CueCat and am putting off cataloguing until I have it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Oh, dear heavens. This is a bad thing to discover on the day when I am sorting/reshelving my books.

I don't have as many books as I used to, as I'm in the habit of giving them away when I move if they're books I doubt I'll re-read again.
