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."

Oh, I love the cloud.

I had no idea I had so many Roger Zelazny books till I hit the author cloud and he overwhelmed everything.

Yes, I just did finish putting a whole bunch more in, joined a couple of groups, began immersing myself . . . I'm doomed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I had no idea I had so many Roger Zelazny books till I hit the author cloud and he overwhelmed everything.

The author cloud is fun for this -- I'm obviously aware that my library leans heaveily towards SF and cookbooks, but, um, woah. (What the author cloud doesn't capture is all the medical history books, since those don't tend to be by repeat authors. I should add tags.)

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

I dread what's going to happen when I start adding my manga and cookbook collections into this thing.

OMG, y'all have convinced me, I just bought a cuecat from them and am going to do this. If nothing else, it'll help me in the bookstore and in the (godforbid) insurance...

I had a CueCat years ago when they were brand new. I threw it away a year ago. Sigh.

I really ought to do this. For insurance purposes alone. Right now, I just have photos of all the bookshelves and if you tilt your head and zoom... yeah. Which reminds me. I should actually SEND the damned pictures to my agent. Kinnda defeats the purpose not to.

Anyway. I think it is just too overwhelming. Even with a cuecat.

Especially since the 100+ unreads are MOCKING ME.

I've been looking at everybody's libraries and being surprised that there's not more SF/Fantasy. I'm feeling sadly lacking in the modern fiction--though I don't anticipate I'll be changing from my diet of SF/Fantasy/Mystery. I'm such a genre slut.

I'll get the genre-slut-ness going once I actually start putting my books in...my gf is out of town this weekend, and I'm hoping the cuecat gets here soon, so...:)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I read some classic SF/fantasy in high school after discovering Tolkien, but the only ones I purchased were A Canticle for Liebowitz and Time After Time. Both of those were lost in the great basement flood of 1991. That was about it, although I do have a lot of time-travel, fantasy, and SF romance.

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

Right now, I'm cataloging the stuff the order in which it's coming out of the boxes. Expect in influx of Pratchett, manga, and cookbooks in the near future.
