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

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."

Because books.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha!

I LOVE the clueless guy in the comments.

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]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I mean, I’m the only guy in North America who teaches Truman Capote
....what? Surely this is not possible.
