This is very lovely (spoiler warning if you haven't read Code Name Verity)
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

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."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I think this is very relevent to the interests of a certain number of Buffistas: [link]

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

Oh my god! That is amazing!
Stoddart tactfully left the two poets alone. ‘If you are willing – will excuse me – I will go off for an hour or so – come back again – leaving you together,’ he said. ‘We would be glad to have you stay,’ Whitman replied. ‘But do not feel to come back in an hour. Don’t come for two or three.’

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Of course, every word of Walt Whitman I hear in Garrison Keillor's voice. I wonder if Keillor would be amused.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
more to the point, I'm not sure Walt Whitman would be!

I haven't yet, but I would like to. Eleanor and Park more than Fangirl, though, or at least first.
I have Eleanor and Park on my table right now. I haven't started it because I'm also reading a Saenz book that I'd love to finish first.
So I bought E&P because it was on a list of recs by an author I like. But I can't remember who wrote the list (not John Green, though, he likes E&P also), nor can I remember where I read the list. It was in the lower right hand corner of the list. Now I wish I could find it because I'd like to see what else was there! Alas, my memory is SHIT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just put Eleanor & Park on my library list after reading the The Toast interview with the author.

Because books.
Tumblr is reading Fangirl as its first official Tumblr Bookclub book. Which I thought would be fun, but I had to unfollow -- I haven't had a chance to pick up the book yet, and it was post after post of gushing praise and fanart and memes, and it was a little overwhelming. I'd still like to read both, though.
I wound up starting Joe Hill's Horns, but I've been so busy I haven't gotten very far. I loved Heart-Shaped Box so much, I think I'm also nervous this one won't measure up.
