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."

I haven't yet, but I would like to. Eleanor and Park more than Fangirl, though, or at least first.

Art Crawl!!!
A slew of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books are the Kindle deal of the day.

I was already laughing, but then I got to, "Henry James can go suck an egg." Snerk. Awesome!
