Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I like how he brags about reading Proust and Dostoyevsky 2-4 times. WHUT? I can't think of a singe book I love (his criterion for teaching) that I haven't read at least 10 times.

I think he's the kind of prof whose reading list would make me want to stab him in the face.

Because books.

I don't know who this Peter Damien guy is, but someone in my feed retweeted this (which I then retweeted, too):

"You wouldn't be upset about David Gilmour if you weren't on the internet."
"NOT NOW, FRANZEN."

Ok, just read Eleanor and Park. SO GOOD! But the ending made me want to cry. I mean, the whole book kind of did. But in a good way too.

not your mom's socks.

I have E&P on my bookpile. So looking forward to reading it.

Not literary, but more literary-adjacent. I put up a post about author visits to schools today [link] - having been on both sides, and having sat through some doozies, I thought it would be interesting to discuss things that work best. If buffista writers and teachers and librarian warlords and former students and readers and buffistas would be interested in weighing in, I would love it.

Ha!

I LOVE the clueless guy in the comments.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

David Gilmour isn't sexist. He just wasn't paying attention to what he was saying to the interviewer because he was also having an important conversation in French. [link]
